BioTek Cytation 3

This used BioTek Cytation 3 is a hybrid multi mode microplate reader and automated imaging system, combining absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence detection with digital microscopy in a single benchtop unit. Widely used in cell biology and drug discovery labs, this instrument allows researchers to capture both quantitative plate reading data and high resolution cellular images. The unit offered has been tested for optical accuracy and imaging module functionality. The Cytation 3 supports brightfield and fluorescence imaging alongside conventional plate reading, enabling workflows such as cell counting, confluence monitoring, and live cell kinetic assays. Its integration with BioTek Gen5 software streamlines data capture, image analysis, and reporting, giving labs a unified platform for complex experiments. This flexibility has made it a favored tool in academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical research settings. This pre owned system offers laboratories an affordable route to combined imaging and plate reading capability. It has been cleaned, inspected, and confirmed to be in good working order prior to sale. It is an excellent fit for labs expanding into automated cell based assays without the cost of a brand new hybrid platform.
