Live cell imaging The SpectraMax MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer option allows for live cell images and analysis (top, left). The ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge enables protein detection (top, right). |
Visualize cells with Imaging with the SpectraMax MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer mirrors the plate reading workflow on the SpectraMax i3x System. The plate is set up for reading and images are acquired according to specified parameters. Cells in each image are identified by SoftMax® Pro Software and cell-by-cell statistics are collected. Data are then analyzed and visualized in different graphical representations. |

The ScanLater Western Blot Detection Cartridge is a user-installable option for the SpectraMax i3x and Paradigm® Multi-Mode Platforms. The ScanLater Western blot system simplifies the traditional western blot protocol by employing a europium-labelled secondary antibody which is then read by Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF). This substrate free detection method enables membrane scanning up to 30 days after the final wash step. The assay demonstrates sensitivity in the high femtogram, comparable to traditional chemiluminescence western blot methods. Leveraging this novel technology, researchers can:
