Introduction

InnoScan 710-G & 710-R: Microarray reader

 

EASE OF USE, SPEED AND IMAGE QUALITY

Characterised by its ease-of-use, speed and image quality, InnoScan 710-G/710-R microarray reader 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-G/710-R microarray scanner provides accurate control of acquired images. InnoScan 710- G/710-R is supplied with a validation slide and associated Mapix software that verifies scanner performance. Routine use InnoScan 710-G/710-R is a low cost, portable scanner capable of reading medium density microarrays at a maximum resolution of 3 µm/pixel.
