Used GENEPIX 4000A #87314 for sale

GENEPIX 4000A is a state-of-the-art device used to detect fluorescent molecules in the laboratory. It utilizes an optical system consisting of a fluorescent microscope, light source, and camera to detect and quantify fluorescent signals. Its unique combination of digital imaging, real-time photometric analysis, high-speed data acquisition, and autofocus optics make it one of the top instruments for fluorescent-based quantitative assays. The microscope uses a bright quartz halogen bulb or UV (ultraviolet) laser diode as the light source. It is designed to detect fluorescence of both DNA and antibody-based labels simultaneously to generate highly specific readings. Optical magnification ranges from 10-1000x, and the focus range covers a depth of 1mm to approximately 100mm. The camera has a resolution of 12bit at 1280 x 1024, and up to 75fps with a real-time image processing capability. 4000A provides a "multi mode" feature which captures brightfield images and phase contrast images with a touch of a button. This system supports monochrome as well as true color imaging. The software package allows for background subtraction, signal normalization, statistical analysis and sampling. Data can be saved, exported or routed to another PC for viewing. The system is highly modular, with a number of interchangeable parts including the source, objective, camera, and filter cubes. This allows for easy customization and flexibility to fit the user's application. Additionally, a variety of interchangeable accessories such as different types of focusing mechanisms, as well as multiple types of objectives to expand the range of applications of the device. Overall, GENEPIX 4000A is a convenient and efficient fluorescent microscope for the detection of molecules, proteins and cells. It provides very sensitive readings with a variety of customization options and flexible accessories, making it an excellent choice for any lab.
