Following from the success of the world's first EMCCD camera and spectroscopy EMCCD detector, the lucaEM is a highly cost-effective yet powerful camera making EMCCD available to every laboratory
Andor Technology has announced the launch of the Andor lucaEM, the newest camera from Andor's stable of EMCCD cameras.
Following on from the success of the Andor iXon (the world's first EMCCD camera) and the Andor Newton (the world's first spectroscopy EMCCD detector), the lucaEM is a highly cost-effective yet powerful camera making EMCCD available to every laboratory.
Market development manager Colin Coates says: "The lucaEM represents a new performance standard in 'workhorse' cameras.
"EMCCD provides ultimate sensitivity.
"Even single photons are amplified above the noise floor, and the full QE of the sensor is harnessed.
"We are proud to be able to offer this camera at a price that labs will find very attractive.
"The lucaEM provides outstanding value".
Some of the features of this innovative new camera include fast frame rates of 30 full frames/sec, a linear and quantitative EM gain scale, USB connectivity and iQ software, the leading price/performance multi-dimensional image acquisition and analysis software.
The Andor lucaEM has many applications across variable grades of light including fluorescent in situ hybridisation (Fish), fluorescent proteins including green fluorescent protein, immunofluorescence, living and fixed cells, wide field fluorescence microscopy and comet assays.
Andor Technology says it is at the forefront of developing and manufacturing instruments for the global spectroscopy and scientific imaging markets.
The company's range of CCD and intensified CCD camera systems are used throughout the world for academic, industrial and government research across a wide range of fields such as biotechnology, physics and chemistry.
Using Andor products these customers can break new ground by performing experiments that were previously considered impossible.
Independently conducted customer research confirms that Andor's low light solutions are considered world beating.
Established in 1989, Andor's corporate headquarters are in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Operating in a global market, Andor's US headquarters opened in Connecticut in 1997.
Andor has regional sales offices in Europe and the USA.
Andor Japan, established in August 2000, handles the company's Asia Pacific operations.
Andor sells its products globally to academic, research and OEM markets directly, through distributors and value added resellers.
