FDSS/µCELL Functional Drug Screening System from Hamamatsu Photonics

The FDSS/μCELL is a kinetic plate reader with an integrated dispensing head and imaging-based detector.

Simultaneous dispensing into the entire 96/384-well plates and simultaneous detection of the kinetics of the fluorescence or luminescence intensity allow quick measurements with no time lag for the 96/384-well format.

The technologies employed in the FDSS series are integrated into a compact body, enabling simple-touse operation, suitable for assay development or in research basic cell-based kinetic assays.
