    Performance and Affordability S c a n A r r a y L I T E is GSI Lumonics' t w o - c o l o r microarray analysis system that combines perfor-mance and affordability with microarray analysis.
    S c a n A r r a y L I T E is available in standard or custom configurations and is the ideal system for budget conscious laboratories or researchers inter-ested in beginning microarray and gene expression analysis.

    Two (2) Internal Lasers

    • Standard configuration with 543nm and 633nm excitation wavelengths.
    • Custom configuration with any combination of two internal lasers with excitation of 543nm, 594nm, 612nm and 633nm.
    Four (4) Emission Filters
    • Four (4) qualified emission filters to detect a variety of dyes.
    • Detection of Cy3, Alexa 532, Te t r a m e t h y l Rhodamine, TAMRA, Alexa 546, Cy5, BOD-I P Y 630/650 and more.
    • Sensitivity to < 0.1 molecule fluor/micron 2 .
    Barcode Reader Option
    • Integrated barcode reader can define scanning parameters automatically.
    • Barcode labels can be detected on the top or bottom of samples.
    • Alpha-numeric characters define and track gene i n f o r m a t i o n .
    • Labels are resistant to microarray preparation, washing and hybridization.
