HTG Firefly Imaging System Model 90006

The HTG Firefly Imaging System Model 90006 is a sophisticated bench-top imager equipped with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera designed for luminescent imaging. This system can process and capture multiple targets for a complete 96-well plate in approximately 15 minutes, facilitating direct sample analysis at your laboratory workstation. Notably, the imager optimizes imaging for HTG’s ArrayPlate qNPA™ technology, which supports multiplexed measurement of RNA levels, DNA expression, and protein function, integral for gene-based drug discovery programs such as target validation, HTS lead optimization, metabolism, toxicology, and clinical development.

The HTG Firefly Bench Top Chemiluminescent Imager is tailored for use with qNPA kits, allowing direct gene expression measurement across various sample types, including formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues without the need for extraction or amplification. It empowers researchers in modestly funded laboratories to undertake studies that were previously financially prohibitive.

Applications span drug discovery, molecular diagnostics (such as target gene validation and gene expression screening), in vitro and in vivo pharmacology, as well as metabolism and drug safety evaluations. Key features include low background noise with exceptionally high resolution to detect minuscule changes in gene activity, offering top-tier data for crucial research decisions. It supports reading of partial plates for budget efficiency, has expandable capacity for future enhancements, and incorporates a user-friendly interface ideal for multi-user environments, eliminating complicated instrument operations. The HTG Firefly is also praised for its simplified and robust optical design, its proprietary light amplification technology that boosts sensitivity without a cryogenically cooled CCD chip, and its compact footprint.

Supplied as a fully functional unit, the HTG Firefly Imaging System is delivered in excellent cosmetic and operational condition.
