2004-11 Operating Manual for the LS Series Scanner No. 30001798 Rev. No. 1.5
The LS SERIES SCANNERS are laser-scanning instruments designed to detect
highly quantitative fluorescence images. The scanners are designed to read
microarray slides as well as other customer specific sample formats. They have
exceptional flexibility with respect to sample formats and measurement modes.
They can read samples up to the size of microplates as well as thick samples like
gels or, for instance, liquid cells. They can read both in confocal and in non-
confocal mode and a selection of up to 4 excitation wavelengths (lasers) and an
almost unlimited number (28) of emission wavelengths or emission filters.
Automation friendliness is another key feature of the LS SERIES SCANNERS.
The design allows the use of standard microplate equipment to load very high
numbers of slides automatically. For instance, with a Connect, up to 200 slides or
50 microplates can be loaded and processed automatically within one run.
