The Opera™ is the premier confocal microplate imaging reader, providing solutions for fully automated simultaneous high speed and high resolution screening. The Opera serves an increasing demand in drug discovery and high throughput biology.
The combination of superior resolution and speed of operation with our fully flexible image analysis software, Acapella™, ensures high potential for assay development and the industrial screening process. The high resolution is achieved by using confocal imaging and water immersion lenses. Simultaneous image acquisition and data processing ensures that results are obtained as quickly as possible. Applications include cell screening at sub-cellular resolution level as well as bead based screening applications - from conventional plate formats to nanoplate scale.
With its outstanding throughput, the Opera is ideally suited to be combined with automation technology. We provide a number of solutions ranging from robotic plate handling to dedicated high throughput and high content screening systems, such as the cell::explorer.
