InnoScan 710-IR Microarray Scanner

“capable of reading signals in the infrared spectrum”
InnoScan 710 Infrared Microarray Scanner
The Innoscan 710-IR is capable of reading signals in the near-infrared spectrum. This allows for a significant reduction in background noise caused by media commonly used in protein microarrays such as nitrocellulose or PVDF.
Application
The Innoscan 710-IR is ideal for reading slides on nitrocellulose or PVDF support, or any slide stained with fluorophores excited at near-infrared wavelengths (670nm, 785nm):
  • Protein microarray
  • ELISA arrays
  • RPP
  • Enzyme microarray
Fields of application:
  • Proteomics: High-throughput protein expression detection.
  • Cell signaling studies: profiling of proteins and protein activity linked to cellular signaling pathways.
Technology: The Innoscan 710-IR is a confocal fluorescence scanner equipped with two excitation lasers (670nm and 785nm) and two photomultiplier tubes (PMT) as the detection system. The PMT detection system is extremely sensitive and perfectly linear over the entire function range (0 to 100%) allowing users to adjust the PMT gain of each wavelength independently of the other. Because the Innoscan 710-IR contains a real-time autofocus system, users have the advantage of eliminating the effect of substrate deformation , thus allowing perfect homogeneity across the entire reading surface. Innopsys’ Innoscan scanners are known for their excellent photometric properties, particularly in terms of sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Thanks to the XDR (Extended Dynamic Range) mode, Innoscan scanners have a dynamic range greater than 106 and are therefore able to detect the smallest points while avoiding saturated ones.

Product information

  • Increased sensitivity of protein microarrays through infrared fluorescence detection: With its two excitation sources in the near-infrared spectrum (670nm and 785nm), it is possible to read slides with nitrocellulose or PVDF substrates without the problem of autofluorescence, caused by these supports. This results in increased sensitivity of the tests by significantly increasing the signal to background noise ratio.
  • Real-time autofocus optimized for nitrocellulose or PVDF substrates: The Innoscan 710-IR scanner uses a real-time autofocus system that produces perfect homogeneity across the entire reading surface. A special configuration made for the program, Mapix, allows users to adapt the autofocus system to nitrocellulose or PVDF formats.
  • Speed: With an adjustable reading speed from 10 to 35 lines per second, users can get test results very quickly (4 minutes to read an entire slide at resolutions of 10 µm/pixel).
