Introduction ADAMII™ is a benchtop fluorescent cell counting analyzer that can use in either a hospital or a research laboratory. It has 4-channel (Bright, Green (PE), Green (PerCP), and Blue (FITC)) light sources, and three-color fluorescence samples can analyze simultaneously. The automatic X-Y-Z stage captures a maxi- mum of 75 images and increases the accuracy of the analysis.
ADAMII™ is shipped with the following components. Once you receive your instrument, please check that all components listed below were shipped. If any component is missed or damaged, contact your local distributor or e-mail ivdst@nanoentek.com. ADAMII™ Power cord with 4 adaptor cords USB connection cable (for U.S./Canada/ Taiwan/Japan,...
