Plate Runner Platform

If the infrastructure is part of a larger structure, please focus the description on the part (equipment, services or similar) of the infrastructure that is located at LU.Lund University, SFO MultiParkThe plate runner platform is basically a plate reader enabling the rapid acquisition of full wells at high resolution for High Content Screening (HCS) and Analysis (HCA). It is a fast plate imaging system for fluorescent signals. It allows imaging of the 7mm well of a standard 96 well plate in matrices of up to 8192 x 8192 pixels. The Plate RUNNER HD(R) fills the gaps between the low sensitivity/low resolution/cell consuming fluorescence plate readers, the high sensitivity but non-imaging flow cytometer, and the slow, poorly automated and small field fluorescence microscope. It does this by allowing whole well/full plate imaging in just 2 minutes 40 seconds for 96 images of 1024 x 1024 pixels, 8 minutes at 4096 x 4096 resolution and 25 minutes at the extremely powerful 8192 x 8192 resolution. The maximum resolution gives details as fine as 1 micron, which covers the vast majority of cellular imaging applications.

Trophos plate Runner:

The Plate Runner HD allows:
• Rapid snapshot acquisition of fluorescence images of cells and small organisms
• High resolution full well / full plate imager
• High through-put format for 96/384 plates
• May serve as a sensitive plate reader detecting whole well fluorescence

Examples of fluorescence assays that may be measured:
• Reporter gene assays
• Cell viability, cytotoxicity and apoptosis assays
• Neurite outgrowth
• Screening of fast kinetics
