Fantastic piece of equipment that does it all!
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.

The Agilent BioTek Cytation 7 cell imaging multimode reader combines automated digital upright and inverted widefield microscopy with conventional multimode 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.
Stimulation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are routinely isolated from blood samples and then used in several fields of research including autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, vaccine development and cancers. In this application note, learn more about the ELISpot Assay, which monitors ex vivo cellular immune responses to antigenic stimuli. The Agilent BioTek Cytation 7 cell imaging multimode reader is used in conjunction with the Agilent BioTek Gen5 microplate reader and imager software to quantitate changes in cytokine secretion in PBMCs using the colorimetric ELISpot assay format.
Automated viral plaque assay workflow using the Cytation Cell Imaging Multimode Reader
Plaque assays remain the standard method for determining viral titers for lysogenic viruses. The assay relies on determining the number of plaque-forming units (PFU) created in a monolayer of virus-infected cells. In this application note, Agilent presents an assay that provides an accurate and efficient method for determining plaque counts and calculating viral titers in a range of microplate densities, including 6-, 24-, 48-, and 96-well formats.
Detection and automated imaging of Regions of Interest when performing Whole Slide Imaging
In this application note, BioTek highlights two examples that use a combination upright and inverted automated image acquisition system to demonstrate the ability to rapidly image entire vessel surfaces at low resolution, select only those regions of interest, and capture high resolution images of the ROIs using automated imaging methods.
