Introduction

InnoScan 710-ir: Infrared microarray scanner

Ease of use, speed and image quality

Characterised by its ease-of-use, speed and image quality, InnoScan 710-IR infrared microarray scanner is the ideal tool for routine microarray reading.

Speed

With its patented XY motorisation, the InnoScan 710-IR is the fastest scanner on the market with adjustable reading speed from 10 to 35 lines per second (capable of scanning slides at 10 μm/pixel in less than 4 minutes).

Reliable and traceable results

With a barcode reader, InnoScan 710-IR microarray scanner provides accurate control of acquired images. InnoScan 710-IR is supplied with a validation slide and associated Mapix software that verifies scanner performance.

Routine use

InnoScan 710-IR is a low cost, portable scanner capable of reading medium density microarrays at a maximum resolution of 3 µm/pixel.
