InnoScan Microarray Scanner Series
Manufacturer: INNOPSYS
Description
The InnoScan series encompasses a family of confocal microarray scanners from INNOPSYS, designed for fluorescence-based analysis. These instruments scan samples on standard microscope slides; certain models also support nitrocellulose-coated slides. Available features and specifications vary across different models within the series. The scanners may utilize laser excitation wavelengths including 488 nm, 532 nm, 635 nm, 670 nm, and 785 nm. All models employ photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors in a confocal optical arrangement to ensure high signal-to-noise ratios. The achievable scanning resolution is flexible, ranging from a detailed 0.5 micrometers per pixel up to 40 micrometers per pixel, depending on the specific instrument. This range allows users to balance scan speed with image detail according to their experimental needs.
