GeneScanner
The GeneScanner is a cutting-edge PCR plate reader engineered for high-throughput fluorescence scanning. Designed for fast, accurate, and sensitive detection, it automates plate loading, barcode reading, fluorescence scanning, and plate unloading. With its CCD camera-based full-field scanning, it captures signals from reaction volumes as low as 0.8 µL, enabling assay miniaturisation without sacrificing data quality. The system scans at speeds of 5 seconds per filter (or 15 seconds for three dyes), significantly reducing processing time. Supporting 96-well, 384-well and 1536 plates, the GeneScanner offers flexible multi-channel detection across the entire visible light range. Its intuitive touchscreen interface and integrated software streamline operation, while barcode tracking ensures efficient sample management. Compact and energy-efficient, the GeneScanner enhances throughput, precision, and workflow automation for advanced molecular applications.
