Performance
The REVOLUTION 4200 System utilizes the latest lasers, optics and pmts to deliver superior image quality and reproducibility. The system supports red and green fluorophore dye-chemistries such as CY3/5, ALEXA 555/647 and Oyster 550/650 while delivering maximum sensitivity, low uniformity and wide linear dynamic range of detection. The built-in ability to adjust each channel's laser power and pmt gain means that each chip's fluorescence characteristics can be properly adjusted to provide the best possible data collection.
Flexibility
The enhanced 4-position slide holding capacity alleviates the need to have to wait for each chip to be scanned and reloaded so that you can better optimize your lab productivity. You can load between 1 to 4 chips, prename your image files, click scan and the system will automatically save your images to a folder of your choice. The system's built in ability to adjust each channel's laser power and pmt gain also means that each chip's fluorescence characteristics can be properly adjusted to provide the best possible data collection.
