Molecular Devices has been awarded the New Product Innovation Award for the ImageXpress Micro Confocal High Content Imaging system, launched at the Miptec conference in Basel, Switzerland.
The award is in recognition for the AgileOptix technology innovation contained within the system.
Designed to run complex, physiologically relevant cellular models including 3D spheroids, tissues, live-cell assays and even organisms, the system combines the clarity of confocal imaging with the throughput and well-known robustness of the ImageXpress Micro platform.
The ImageXpress Micro Confocal system features AgileOptix technology, enabling simple, user-defined configurations to ensure maximum assay performance for both confocal and widefield imaging. Multiple confocal geometries are available, including pinhole and slit confocal imaging.
AgileOptix technology makes it possible for the system to deliver the sensitivity and throughput needed for demanding applications by combining an advanced solid-state light engine, proprietary spinning disc technology, state-of-the-art optics and a scientific CMOS sensor. It acquires a >3 log dynamic range and captures publication-quality images while its large optical field of view maximises collection of statistically-relevant data.
