Used COMPUCYTE LSC-2 #293605765 for sale

COMPUCYTE LSC-2 is a highly reliable and advanced laser scanning cytometer designed to provide detailed, accurate information on the morphology and function of a wide variety of cell types. The equipment is comprised of a wide range of components, including an excitation light source with a laser head, a detection unit which houses a spectrometer and a detector, a computer to send and receive control information, and custom software for analysis. LSC-2 utilizes a tunable solid-state laser, capable of operating in a range from 390 to 670 nanometers. This allows for the system to work with many different fluorochromes, ranging from the commonly used proteins and enzymes to less commonly used ones. The laser head is coupled with a fiber-optic cable that sends the excitation light to a spectrometer, which is used to separate and analyze the laser pulses. The detection unit is also connected to the spectrometer, and works to detect any emitted light from cells following excitation. All incoming data, from both the spectrometer and detector, is sent to the computer for analysis by the custom software. COMPUCYTE LSC-2 offers few variables to obtain the desired information, and is designed to provide detailed information on cellular size, shape, and internal properties across the entire fluorescence spectrum. This information is useful in identifying and quantifying a variety of cell types, which can then be used to study cell development and pathology. Additionally, the unit can also be used to accurately measure cell cycle parameters and marker expression, making it a valuable tool in drug discovery and development and diagnostic purposes. The reliable operation of LSC-2 is ensured by calibration procedures that are carried out via approved protocols. The laser head has built-in shutter timing for easy integration and ensures high performance, while the detection unit offers both single-cell and flow cytometry capabilities. In addition, the software can be used to customize the analysis of data from the different components, allowing for customization of the machine for specific imaging tasks. In conclusion, COMPUCYTE LSC-2 is a versatile and reliable laser scanning cytometer suited for a wide range of morphological and functional studies. Its ability to analyze multiple cell types and parameters makes it a valuable tool for cell-based research, drug discovery, diagnostics, and other applications. The advanced features, such as the tunable laser, the integrated shutter timing, and the software-based analysis, make sure the tool is able to deliver accurate and reliable results.
