Spinscan Microarray Scanner
Caduceus Biotechnology Inc. specializes in the design and production of microarray scanners, offering innovative solutions for the molecular diagnostic market. Their flagship product, the Spinscan Microarray Scanner, utilizes a modified optical pickup head similar to DVD technology, allowing simultaneous reading of six slides.
Specifications
The scanner is available in two models: HC-BS01 with dual wavelengths (532 & 635 nm) and HC-BS02 with a single wavelength (532 or 635 nm). It offers resolutions of 2, 5, 10, and 40 μm/pixel, with a scan time of 20 minutes per run at 10 μm/pixel. The device supports a dynamic range greater than 10⁴ and a sensitivity of 0.1 chromophores/μm². The dimensions are 550(L)×335(W)×220(H) mm, and it weighs less than 25 kg.
Features
The scanner supports multiple chips with six slides per run and is compatible with all standard chips. It includes all-in-one software for control and image analysis, featuring dynamic auto-focusing to ensure reliable data by adjusting the focus in real-time using a voice coil motor (VCM).
Software
The BioScan Control software manages the scanning and image reconstruction processes, utilizing USB3.0 for data transmission. It features a user-friendly GUI for reading 16-bit TIFF and GAL files, with adjustable image brightness and contrast. The software provides various plots, including scatter, M-A plot, and histograms of captured fluorescence.
Scanning Procedure
1. Scan Parameters Setup: Configure scan mode and parameters.
2. Scan Process Control: Initiate or stop scanning with the respective buttons.
3. Scanning Image Preview: Preview the scanned image.
4. Output TIFF Images: Export 16-bit TIFF images upon completion.

AUTO-FOCUSING Problematic laser focusing maybe resulted from the exclusive changes in the glass slide. That will come with suspicious data by over/under focus. Caduceus dynamic autofocus continually adjusts to keep the features in focus and generating effective and efficient result. The laser beams are dynamically focused on the surface of microarray slide based on the method of astigmatism to achieve dynamic auto-focus. The auto-focusing of the laser beam is controlled using the voice coil motor (VCM) to adjust the vertical distance between the objective lens and the surface of the sample slide...
