Product description

Dual-channel microarray scanner with adjustable resolution (5–100 µm) and variable laser power for optimized imaging.

The GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner is a high-performance instrument designed for rapid, high-quality imaging of two-colour microarrays. Renowned for its intuitive and reliable operation, this scanner has set the benchmark in microarray scanning technology.

Key features include:

  • Simultaneous dual-channel scanning: Acquires data at two wavelengths concurrently, significantly reducing scan times and enhancing workflow efficiency.
  • Adjustable pixel resolution: Offers resolutions from 5 to 100 microns, allowing flexibility in image quality and file size to suit various experimental needs.
  • User-selectable laser power settings: Provides options of 100%, 33%, or 10% laser power, enabling optimisation of signal intensity for different sample types.
  • Comprehensive calibration standards: Ensures consistent performance over time, allowing researchers to verify scanner accuracy and reliability.
  • Integrated GenePix Pro Software: Facilitates seamless control of the scanner, including automated photomultiplier tube (PMT) balancing for optimal signal detection.

The GenePix 4000B is widely utilised in various scientific fields, including genomics, proteomics, and biotechnology. It is particularly valuable in applications such as gene expression analysis, protein interaction studies, and biomarker discovery. Commonly employed in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and biotechnology companies, this scanner supports a broad range of research initiatives. First released in 2010, the GenePix 4000B continues to be a relevant and reliable tool in the scientific community.

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.
