InnoScan 910 Microarray Scanner

Technology

Microarray scanners laser confocal

Confocal detection

  • Optimize fluorescence detection
  • Assure good focalization all along the scan
  • Less background
  • SNR is increased by 2.5 times
Microarray scanners laser autofocus

Real-time autofocus

  • Detection idone through a spatial phinhole
  • Follows the slide movement and deformation in real time during the scan
  • Avoid all out-of-focus signal
Microarray scanners laser barcode

Automatic barcode reader

  • Reliable and traceable results
Microarray scanners laser slides

All standard microscope slides format

  • Glass
  • Nitrocelluose coated glass
  • Plastic
  • Silicon wafer
  • Gold coated glass
Microarray scanners dynamic range

Dynamic range

  • From > 104 to >106
  • Detect the lowest signals avoiding saturation.

Applications

Viruses, bacteria and parasites can cause deleterious diseases requiring rapid and efficient detection and therapeutic tools. Emerging infectious diseases with little known mechanisms of infection and pathogenicity represent a big challenge for research and clinics. 
Genes are transcribed into messenger RNAs which represent the dynamic and biologic state of a cell at a given time. Using DNA microarrays, it is possible to identify mRNAs present in a sample and quantify their levels
Array CGH (aCGH) analysis to determine chromosomal Copy Number Variation (CNV) is nowadays a routine laboratory technique on cytogenetics research and diagnostics.
