Agilent BioTek Cytation 5 CYT5MF Multimode Microplate Reader with 4-Zone Incubation and Rapid Detection
Product Description
The Agilent BioTek Cytation 5 CYT5MF Multimode Microplate Reader delivers versatile detection in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics, integrating filter- and monochromator-based systems for UV-Vis absorbance (230–999 nm), fluorescence intensity (250–700 nm), time-resolved fluorescence, and luminescence detection. Designed for microplate-based assays compatible with 6-to-384 well plates and Take3 microvolume plates, this instrument supports essential workflows in bioprocessing, enzyme activity, and multiplex biomarker research.
Key features include:
- Multimode detection: Dual readout pathways with quad monochromators and custom filter cubes enable flexible assay configuration and optimized sensitivity in fluorescence intensity, TRF, luminescence, and absorbance modes.
- Rapid throughput: Reads 96 wells in 11 seconds and 384 wells in 22 seconds, facilitating kinetic and high-throughput screening in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.
- Advanced environmental control: Four-zone incubation system maintaining temperatures up to 65 °C with condensation control and ±0.2 °C uniformity at 37 °C, vital for live-cell assays and enzyme kinetics.
- Shaking functionality: Linear, orbital, and double orbital shaking modes enhance assay homogeneity and cellular interaction in biomanufacturing process development.
- High dynamic ranges: Fluorescence dynamic range spans 7 decades; luminescence over 6 decades; absorbance resolution to 0.0001 OD, ensuring sensitive detection of low-abundance targets and multiplexed biomarker panels.
- Precision optics: Wavelength accuracy ±2 nm with repeatability ±0.2 nm and variable bandwidth from 9 to 50 nm (fluorescence) supports high-resolution spectral measurements for complex sample matrices.
The instrument supports a broad spectrum of biotechnology applications, including molecular diagnostics, ELISA-based assays, gene expression reporter assays, cell viability studies, and biopharmaceutical screening, making it critical for advanced research facilities and bioprocess development pipelines.
Package includes:
- Cytation 5 CYT5MF reader with custom filter cubes
- Power and communication cables
- Desktop computer with Gen5 software
- Monitor, mouse, and keyboard
This unit is fully tested for power, software communication, incubation performance, shaking functions, and optical accuracy using validated test plates, ensuring reliable operation upon delivery. Warranty and remote setup training are included to support seamless integration into research environments.
Optimized for researchers in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, the Cytation 5 CYT5MF microplate reader is widely adopted for fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging-compatible assays (non-imaging mode), and molecular biology studies, facilitating reproducible and efficient assay workflows spanning bioprocessing to synthetic biology fields.
