Product description

Automated slide scanner digitizing up to 100 slides, rapid fluorescence imaging, high-res capture, UV-free LED illumination.

The Carl Zeiss Axio Scan.Z1 is an advanced digital slide scanner designed to automate the digitisation of fixed tissue sections and cytologic specimens in both brightfield and fluorescence microscopy. This system enables researchers to convert physical slides into high-quality virtual images swiftly, enhancing analysis and collaboration.

Key features:

  • High-throughput scanning: Capable of digitising up to 100 microscope slides in a single run, streamlining large-scale studies.
  • Rapid fluorescence imaging: Equipped with filter wheels that switch wavelengths in just 50 milliseconds, facilitating efficient multi-channel fluorescence imaging.
  • Superior image quality: Utilises sensitive cameras and optimally corrected optics to produce detailed and accurate digital representations.
  • Sample protection: Incorporates the Colibri.2 UV-free LED light source and a focus finder with oblique illumination to minimise photobleaching and preserve sample integrity.
  • User-friendly software: Operated via ZEISS ZEN imaging software, offering both automated and manual control over scanning parameters, tailored to research workflows.

Applications:

  • Pathology research: Facilitates tissue analysis in studies related to Alzheimer's disease and cancer.
  • Pharmaceutical industry: Supports drug discovery and development processes through efficient sample analysis.
  • Biotechnology: Enhances research in bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics by providing precise digital imaging of biological specimens.

Commonly used in:

  • University laboratories: Supports academic research and education in life sciences.
  • Biomedical research centres: Aids in advanced studies of disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.
  • Clinical environments: Assists in diagnostic procedures and pathology assessments.

Introduced in 2013, the Axio Scan.Z1 remains a relevant and widely adopted tool in various scientific and medical fields.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
