iScan Reader

The iScan Reader is a laser-based, high-resolution optical imaging system that includes red and green lasers for detecting fluorescence information on BeadChips.

The barcode scanner is internal to the iScan Reader. The scanner allows you to identify each BeadChip accurately.

The iScan Reader tray accepts up to four BeadChips loaded in a BeadChip carrier.

On the front panel of the iScan Reader, the status indicator lights and scan bar show the status of the instrument.

The scan bar is the blue LED pipe to the left of the tray. A steady blue bar indicates that the instrument is scanning.

BeadChips are placed into carriers and the carriers are loaded one at a time into the adapter plate in the iScan Reader tray.
