Opera High Content Screening System (PerkinElmer)
We offer a fully operational and automated Opera High Content Screening System from PerkinElmer, originally installed at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research.
This advanced point-scanning confocal Nipkow spinning disk system is designed for high-throughput screening applications, delivering reliable performance for demanding multiplexed assays.
The system enables simultaneous four-color imaging with real-time data analysis, ensuring efficient and high-speed acquisition workflows. With a throughput exceeding 100,000 image sets per day, it is ideally suited for large-scale screening environments.
Key features include:
- Fully automated operation with objective exchange and four-position turret
- Compatibility with both air objectives (10x, 20x, 40x) and water immersion objectives (10x, 20x, 40x, 60x)
- Integrated automated water immersion fluid supply
- Three parallel confocal detection channels, plus an optional fourth non-confocal channel
- Broad compatibility with microtiter and nanotiter plates
Originally acquired on 22 August 2006, the system remains in excellent working condition, offering a cost-effective solution for laboratories seeking high-end screening capabilities.
The original purchase price was €660.000, representing a significant opportunity to access premium technology at a fraction of the cost.
