Everything one researcher need, it is a must!
Application Area:Drug discovery & development
"Cytation 7 is a multi-mode plate reader with sophisticated imaging. Several different modules are combined in one instrument body including inverted microscopy module as well as upright microscopy module with reflected light imaging enables even more applications such as ELISpot or fast slide scanning and ROI detection workflow. With only 3 clicks on the very intuitive software one can easily acquire a large amount of data which can then be processed and analyzed by users in order to fine tune result output or points of interest. Very powerful instrument addressed to make users time in-front of the screen quick and analysis a breeze. As part of BioTek after-sales packet one should not fear being left in the dark. Their team of experts in area is always ready to help and provides you with support and backups. Overall, Cytation 7 offers top notch research platform for everyday use and easy-to-use interface for only a fraction of the price. "

Fantastic piece of equipment that does it all!
Application Area:Drug discovery + development
"Super easy and intuitive to use, the Cytation 7 is a machine that does it all! Our lab uses it for fluorescence microscopy, cell counting, RNA/DNA quality assessment and its multi-modal plate reading. Value for money is excellent since it can replace many separate pieces of equipment. The after sales care is also phenomenal, with the BioTek representatives always happy and quick to help with any trouble shooting. The only possible downside is the cost of yearly calibration, which can easily be justified by the vast number of functions. "

Easy to use, quality repeatable results.
Application Area:Imaging, ELISA
"We purchased our Cytation 7 after having success with our Cytation 1. We were impressed with the upgrades the 7 offered over the 1. We particularly like the wide field of view camera with ROI scanning which makes imaging samples much faster. We also like having a fluorescence monochromator for our enzymatic activity assays and other fluorescence based assays. The Cytation 7 is something that is used across multiple departments in our company."
The Agilent BioTek Cytation 7 cell imaging multimode reader combines automated digital upright and inverted widefield microscopy with conventional multi-mode microplate reading. Cytation 7 includes continually variable bandpass monochromators for versatility and performance for general multimode plate reader applications.
The inverted microscopy module provides sample visualization and the upright microscopy module with reflected light imaging enables even more applications, including ELISpot and fast slide scanning. Cytation 7 is controlled by Gen5 software, which combines ease-of-use with powerful processing and analysis capabilities.
