Product description

Upgradeable platform combining automated digital microscopy and multimode detection with fluorescence, brightfield, and absorbance modes.

The BioTek Cytation5 (Gen5 Image+) model CYT5MFAV is an upgradeable multimode microplate reader and automated digital microscope designed for advanced laboratory applications including biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. This platform integrates multiple optical modalities with a maximum magnification of 60x featuring fluorescence, brightfield, high-contrast brightfield, color brightfield, and phase contrast imaging. The multi-mode detection includes filter and monochromator-based fluorescence detection, luminescence, and UV-Vis absorbance, enabling versatile assay compatibility essential for bioprocessing and synthetic biology research workflows.

Key features include:

  • Multimode detection combining traditional microplate reading with automated microscopy for seamless imaging and quantitative analysis.
  • Gen5™ software platform that provides comprehensive control over image acquisition and data management with powerful analytical capabilities, critical for molecular diagnostics and biopharmaceutical research.
  • Physical dimensions of 41.91 cm (W) × 50.8 cm (D) × 44.5 cm (H) and a weight of 36.3 kg ensure benchtop compatibility in modern lab spaces.
  • Power consumption peaks at 250 W, suitable for continuous high-throughput screening and live-cell imaging needs in cell biology and biomedical engineering.

This unit is a used instrument sold as-is, with warranty support for repair or replacement within 10 days of delivery if hardware malfunction occurs. It is widely adopted in synthetic biology and biotechnology laboratories where integrated fluorescence imaging and absorbance measurement streamline experimental workflows and enhance data quality for complex assays.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
