MSD SECTOR Imager 2400 – Multiplex Electrochemiluminescence Plate Reader

Offered for sale is a Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) SECTOR® Imager 1250, part of the widely used SECTOR Imager 2400/1250 series. This instrument is a high-sensitivity multiplex immunoassay reader that utilizes electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection technology, enabling accurate, low-background measurement of multiple biomarkers within a single well.

The SECTOR Imager platform is a staple in biomarker discovery, immunology, translational research, and pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, valued for its broad dynamic range, excellent sensitivity, and compatibility with MSD’s MULTI-ARRAY® and MULTI-SPOT® assay formats.

Key Features & Specifications
