in a fully automated workflow
Cytation integrates with BioSpa 8 and BioStack for automated multi-mode and live cell imaging workflows.
Powerful imaging for a wide range of applications, including live and fixed cell biologies: A. Confocal, B. Fluorescence, C. Brightfield, D. High contrast brightfield, E. Color brightfield, F. Phase contrast, G. Upright reflected and transmitted light.
With Gen5 software you acquire high quality images across a broad range of applications. Augmented Microscopy automates the steps of a typical microscopy workflow, making image capture, processing, and analysis easy and powerful, to produce publication-ready images and data.

Secondary masks quantify mean fluorescent signal from labeled targets. Subpopulation analysis identifies cells responding to treatment.
The graph shows % of cytotoxic cells over time after exposure to 30 or 100 µM Oridonin.
The compact gas controller maintains control of CO2 and O2 levels for live cell assays.
The dual reagent injector module allows fast cellular reactions to be imaged or detected.
Angled injector tips protect cell monolayers from shear stress during injection.
AutoScratch Wound Making Tool automates cell migration and scratch wound assays with Cytation.
