Introduction

Characterized by its simplicity of use, competitive price and superior image quality, the InnoScan 910 is the ideal tool for scanning most high-density microarrays currently available on the market.

High resolution: InnoScan 910 is a high-resolution 2-colour fluorescence scanner. It is capable of reading microarrays at a very high image quality with a resolution of 1µm/pixel. Speed: Capable of simultaneously reading 2 detection channels in 3.55 minutes (at 10µm/pixel maximum reading area); InnoScan 910 is the fastest scanner on the market with a sweep speed which adjustable from 10 to 35 lines/second. Reliable and traceable results: With a barcode reader, InnoScan 910 provides accurate control of acquired images. InnoScan 910 is supplied with a validation slide and proprietary Mapix software which verifies scanner performance.

Given the size of the images obtained (5.74 GB to read an entire slide at 1 µm resolution), Mapix image analysis software has been specially designed to handle large files.
