High Performance Upgrade for Existing ArrayScan® HCS Reader 3.1/4.0 Customers!

The HCS Reader Upgrade, x.5 offers all of the software and usability enhancements of our latest released model – the ArrayScan VTI HCS Reader - for a much lower price. In addition, the upgrade is compatible with our latest V2 BioApplications – the most extensive line of powerful, pre-packaged and easy-to-use algorithms available for high content screening. BioApplications already on your v.3.1 or v.4.0 system will be exchanged for their equivalent V2 version at no charge.

The HCS Reader Upgrade, x.5 combined with Cellomics® V2 BioApplications, will enable you to
increase your productivity, perform more in-depth analyses and significantly reduce your time to discovery.

• Greater sensitivity with the ORCA-ER camera resulting in higher quality images and analysis.
  
• Access to our proprietary, extensive line of enhanced V2 BioApplications – over 16 currently available.
  
• Easy-to-use protocol migration tool to convert existing protocols to V2 BioApplications with proven, equivalent data results.
  
• More sophisticated analysis such as object segmentation, population characterization and background correction are now routine.
  
• Protocol Management that allows you to track protocol version history, view the differences between two protocols, organize and select protocols by assay, user, date or other fields and much more.
  
• Calibration and Form Factor Wizard to ensure system accuracy and easily edit and correct form factors.
  
• Ability to print protocols for easy record keeping.
  
• Image pop-up windows to easily compare multiple images on the screen at one time.
