Opera High Content Screening System with Spinning-Disk Confocal and Live Cell Imaging
When you think of laser-based spinning-disk confocal imaging systems, you should think of the Opera. First publicly presented in 2002, the Opera represented a real breakthrough for cellular testing and even today its still being used for cutting-edge research.
At New Life Scientific, we aim to create solutions for researchers such as yourself by providing the tools you need to reach your goals. This Opera is no different. Its a tool that we want to put into your hands so you can make a difference.
Please contact us if you have any questions. Wed be happy to speak with you.
Watch the above video for a walkthrough of the instrument with Rich, our technician who is a specialist with the Opera. He not only shows the Opera in action, but he also removes all the panels to show you the excellent condition of the internal components.
This imaging system is in excellent physical condition both inside and out. Remove those pearly white panels and youll find the inner workings to be clean and tidy, just as you would expect from a high quality instrument such as this.
Thanks to extensive experience of our technician, he has gone over every inch of this Opera to make sure everything is secure and in good working order.
Our senior technician, Rich, is our resident Opera specialist. He has put countless hours into studying, servicing, and testing these systems to better serve people just as yourself. For an added cost, he can even come install the Opera in your facility, calibrating and aligning the lasers so you can avoid the worry of installation and get back to your research.
It would require a couple pages to go into all the details of the testing that was performed, but the following are a few points you may find helpful:
- Tested all 4 objectives: PASSED
- Tested all 5 lasers: PASSED
- Tested all 3 CCD cameras: PASSED
- Tested UV camera and source: PASSED
- Tested water immersion feature: PASSED
- Tested air conditioning for live cell: PASSED
To make full use of this system, you will need to provide your own data storage solution powered by Perkin Elmers CIA software.
This is a complete, fully-functional Opera so if youre looking for a cell imaging system that you can buy, install, and push forward with your research in as few steps as possible, then youve found the right one.
By the way, if you dont need a particular objective, then please do let us know. We can remove the objective and negotiate a lower price for you.
