Spark Cyto is the first multimode reader with live cell imaging and real time cytometry to offer as much information as possible from the same cells, under the same conditions.

• Live cell imaging and real-time cytometry for 2D and 3D cell models
• Temperature and gas control
• Lid Lifter™
• Enhanced Absorbance, Fluorescence and Luminescence modules
• Fusion optics - combine the flexibility of monochromators with the sensitivity of filters
• ALPHA technology
• Fluorescence filter top/bottom
• DNA-, RNA- & protein quantification
• Low sample volume: 2 µl
• Up to 16 sample in parallel
• A260/280 purity check
• Labeling effiency for nucleic acids
• Full-spectra scan (Spark, SparkCyto)

Multimode plate reader with environmental control that makes multi-parametric measurement possible by combining standard detection modes (luminescence, fluorescence, absorbance) with imaging in 6- to 384- well formats.

Spark Cyto combines three magnification levels (2×, 4×, 10×) with four channels for fluorescence (blue, green, red and far-red) and bright field imaging, enabling high quality cell analysis for a wide range of applications.

Pre-defined imaging applications for the most common cytometric assays:
• Label-free cell counting
• 3D^ai spheroid and organoid analysis
• Confluence
• Nuclei counting
• Transfection efficiency
• Cell viability
• Cell death

For kinetic measurements, Real-time Experimental Control (REC) automatically activates a procedure as soon as a specific data value is reached.

Environmental control: Temperature control (from RT to 42 °C), CO₂ and O₂ gas control
Imaging: Bright field, Digital phase contrast and Fluoresence imaging
