DISCOVERY-TMA™
The Discovery-1 is the only system to offer both simplicity and convenient flexibility for image-based high content screening applications. Select a standard image analysis routine, or develop custom protocols using the system’s intuitive software. Implement high throughput strategies by leveraging the system’s scalable architecture.

robust analysis

Visualize and analyze cell populations

Identify sub-cellular protein localization

Perform multi-parameter analysis

superior automation

Rapid acquisition of high content screening data

Open, scalable architecture for higher throughput and easy integration with robotics

High-speed laser auto-focus

Up to eight different fluorophores per assay

A wide range of acquisition configurations with six objectives

Quick and easy data archiving

scalability

The scalable architecture of the Discovery-1 enables easy integration of several optical imagers and robotics systems into a single platform for high throughput, high content screening.

PlateExchange software enables automated plate loading, barcode scanning, and multiple assays with unattended operation. A generic robotics interface provides the flexibility required for integrating one or more Discovery-1 systems into an existing automation platform.
