The Agilent BioTek Cytation 9 cell imaging multimode reader is the next evolution in the Cytation portfolio, merging sophisticated hybrid microplate detection with both widefield inverted and upright microscopy. This modular, future-proofed platform is engineered to evolve with your research, offering a starting point of microscopy, multimode detection, or a powerful combination of both.
The advanced hybrid optics use variable bandwidth monochromators and high-performance filters to deliver unmatched sensitivity for demanding assays, such as Alpha and TR-FRET. For high-performance microscopy, a redesigned five-position filter carrier supports four imaging cubes alongside a dedicated laser autofocus module, ensuring rapid and consistent focus for complex three-dimensional (3D) biological samples.
To support sensitive live-cell kinetic studies, an optional integrated CO2/O2 gas control module and dual-reagent injectors provide precise environmental and liquid handling control. For long-term culturing of complex models, such as organoids and stem-cell-derived lineages, Cytation 9 integrates seamlessly with the Agilent BioTek BioSpa 8 automated incubator to provide essential humidity control. Whether used as a standalone unit or integrated into high-throughput automation, Cytation 9 is truly ready for any assay.
