Partner institution: 3:MasarykUniversity-CEITEC
Core facility: Genomics
Category of instrument / technology: Scanning microscope
Web category: 1 : analysis
Instrument name: Cell analysis system (Scan R)
Description EN:
The Scan^R screening platform can be used for high-content screening using multiwell plates as well as single slides, Petri dishes, and custom-built plates. The software can be used for live cell imaging as well as for imaging of fixed materials. It has fully automated image acquisition which allows the user to select the number of images per well, the number of wells and the different filter sets. Results can be analysed with the image analysis software for automated object detection and cell separation using histograms and gating settings to include or exclude data sets. The system acquires samples in light field and various fluorescence spectra (DAPI, FITC, Cy3, Cy5, and Cy7). This system is not determined for real time acquisition. 
Part of research platform:
Core Facility Genomics (CFG) offers genomic analysis service and access to up-to-date genomic instrumentation. Main technologies available at the facility are massively parallel sequencing (Illumina), single molecule nanopore sequencing, microarrays and high-throughput & digital PCR. Through cooperation with CEITEC Center of Molecular Medicine it is possible to access other instrumentation – cell sorter, flow cytometers or Laser Capture Microdissection.
