Microarray Scanners - ArrayPix™ Microarray Fluorescence and Colorimetric Plate Scanners for Reading Microarray Slides and Microplates for Research, Life Sciences, Medicine and Agriculture

Arrayit ArrayPix™ Microplate Microarray Scanners offer high-performance fluorescent and colorimetric scanning and quantification of microarrays printed on glass slides (1 x 25 x 76 mm) and in microplates and microplate footprinted microarray hardware. ArrayPix™ 6 µm-resolution scanning systems are ideal for customers wishing to combine the convenience and throughput of microplate assays with the performance of microarrays to enable a high level of assay multiplexing, and rapid image acquisition, quantification and reporting in an easy to use compact instrument. ArrayPix™ Fluorescent and Colorimetric Microplate Microarray Scanners can be used as single instruments or integrated with liquid handling systems for complete automation from hybridization and processing through detection, quantification and reporting. ArrayPix™ fluorescence scanners offer performance, affordability and versatility for two-color (green and red) and three-color (blue, green and red) microarray slide and microplate scanning applications in research, life sciences, biomedicine and agriculture.
