See the latest advances in Laser Capture Microdissection and microarray technologies from MDS Analytical Technologies at AACR—Booth 1617
13 Apr 2008Product news
The next generation ArcturusXT™ microdissection system leverages the latest advances in microscope technology by employing the all-new Nikon® Eclipse-Ti research-grade microscope as its base. The only open, modular microdissection instrument to combine Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) with UV laser cutting, the ArcturusXT system delivers superior flexibility and ease-of-use.
You can also see the following high performance bioanalytical measurement systems—and the latest addition to our already robust reagent family—on display in Molecular Devices’ (now a part of MDS Analytical Technologies) Booth #1617:
- New! Axon GenePix® Scanner—Explore the revolutionary new technologies in our microarray systems family.
- New! RiboAmp Ultra Reagents—Learn about new developments in our Arcturus® Microgenomics reagent family.
- SpectraMax® Readers—See the highly efficient, flexible single- and multi-mode microplate readers.
Visit our Booth #1617 at AACR to learn more and speak with our team of product experts.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.
