Procurement Information

The Odyssey M provides all the scanning functions that have been lost due to relocation of predecessor systems, plus the ability to multiplex more than two antibodies simultaneously and scan microscope slides, and also perform analyses in the visual fluorescence spectrum in addition to near infra-red - I believe this is unique to this piece of equipment. When we were looking at replacing our broken microplate reader and replace the imager that has been moved to the IRR, we talked to several different suppliers. The Odyssey M is the only piece of equipment that combines the functionality of the microplate reader and imager. To my knowledge there is no other single piece of equipment available which can analyse microtiter plates/ gels/ microscope slides and Western blots in the visual light/ fluorescent, near infra-red and chemiluminescence spectrum.
