cell::explorer Automated HCS System

cell::explorer

Dedicated automation for high content screening

The cell::explorer™ offers a fully integrated, ready to run automation solution that enables you to take maximum advantage of the powerful Opera™ HCS platform. You will find the cell::explorer dramatically reduces well-to-well variances related to assay preparation and plate incubation, resulting in significantly improved overall data quality. While the cell::explorer is a ready to run solution, the system is designed to grow as your needs grow. The basic module supports a wide range of screening applications, including general compound and siRNA screening. The system may be upgraded to enhance both functionality and throughput. If you need specialized screening for compound profiling, ADME/Tox, assays with higher organisms and other applications, the cell::explorer is easily reconfigured. And to achieve higher throughput, the system allows multiple cell::explorer modules to be linked as a multi-processor solution. With its turn-key design and small footprint, the cell::explorer represents the ideal automation solution for your HCS needs.

Features:

  • Ready to run solution
  • Compatible with 96, 384 and 1536-well plates
  • Easy process control with plate::works™, the proven HTS scheduling software
  • Fully enclosed, interlocked housing
  • Easy, direct access to all components
