Whether it is a complete system for a complex biological experiment, automation devices for increasing throughput, or inspection systems to catch defects and increase production, we have the products, people, and partners to provide well-engineered solutions for you.
As an example, our Fast Flasks Scanner is a system with a microscope, a computer and a software which provides a fast scanning of different flasks. The RAMM (Rapid Automated Modular Microscope) and one of ASI's XY Stages allow to the user a wide choice of flasks to scan, from Petri dishes to Falcon's F175.
A plugin created under Micro-manager's software can scan one or several flasks and another plugin create a high quality picture of the entire flask.
Example of flasks :
- F75
- F175
- 96-well microtiter plate
- SBS
- 6 well plate
- Petri dish
- Microscope slides
