1 - with carousel
2 - with HTS
3 - The Sony SP6800 ZE spectral analyzer has a novel spectral detector, allowing the unmixing (separation) and analysis of multiple colors simultaneously.
Please contact the Lighthouse staff for advice on which machine would be best suited for your experiments, or for help with panel design, as well as to ask about the date and time of the next training session. For additional help with panel design, the configurations of Lighthouse analysers have been listed on the Fluorofinder website. To access them follow the links below:
