Andor DR-328G-CO1-SIL Clara Monochrome CCD Microscope Camera with -55°C Cooling and USB 2.0 Interface

The Andor DR-328G-CO1-SIL Clara is a high-performance monochrome CCD microscope camera engineered for advanced scientific imaging applications in fluorescence microscopy and brightfield imaging. Featuring a 1.45-megapixel CCD sensor with 6.45 x 6.45 µm pixel size, it delivers high spatial resolution essential for precise image capture and quantitative analysis. The camera offers 14-bit digitization at 10 and 20 MHz and 16-bit digitization at 1 MHz, enabling wide dynamic range and linearity critical in molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and bioprocessing workflows.

This model integrates a USB 2.0 interface for reliable data transfer and supports a maximum frame rate of 11 fps at 20 MHz readout speed, suitable for live-cell imaging and dynamic microscopy studies. Its advanced fan cooling system maintains the CCD sensor temperature at -55°C (ambient 25°C), significantly reducing dark noise (2.4 e- read noise) and enhancing sensitivity for low-light and fluorescence applications frequently encountered in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics.

Ideal for researchers in cell imaging, biomedical engineering, and molecular biology, the Andor Clara monochrome camera is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines where precise fluorescence detection and brightfield imaging are essential. The rugged construction ensures durability and consistent performance in university research labs and biopharma settings.

Key technical specifications include:

This camera is calibrated and tested with uManager software to ensure seamless communication, live feed functionality, and consistent capture of sharp, high-contrast images. It supports demanding imaging tasks typical in fluorescence analysis, molecular cloning workflows, and biomedical diagnostics. The product comes with warranty and after-sales support from an experienced service team.

The Andor DR-328G-CO1-SIL Clara camera is a reliable solution for labs requiring precision scientific imaging with low noise, high dynamic range, and proven robustness for sophisticated microscopy applications in biotechnology and clinical research.
