Product news

The LemnaTec Scanalyzer 3 D for use in greenhouses represents a next generation step change and will increase throughput, remove subjectivity from assay scoring and decrease laborious scoring tasks.

The core-technology has been used for toxicology experiments, pesticide notification, wastewater monitoring, plant health assessment, phenotyping and screening of GMOs and active ingredients in high throughput bioassays. The hardware is flexible enough to transition between numerous assay types and arenas as well as presenting true "walk away" automation. The software is extremely versatile and well established for numerous assay types.

This special Scanalyzer is designed to work in a common greenhouse. It can handle plants up to 1,5 meter size. With the special rotating device plants can be screened from all sides.

In combination with the LemnaTec SAW Bonit Software the following parameters can be measured as single parameters as well as growth rate:

  • Size of plant
  • Numbers of leaves
  • Internodial distance and number of nods
  • Growth architecture (angels of leaves etc)

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

Find bioassays for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drug molecules including cytotoxicity, transporter/permeability, metabolism and activity assays as well as hepatocytes and cell lines for ADME. Find the best ADME-toxicology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.
