ASTOR 2 is an ELISpot-only reader built to be easy to use and durable. With its fixed focus, optimized default reader settings, and self-calibrating XY table, we developed ASTOR 2 to be as easy to use as possible, allowing you to get right to your data. Just load the plate and press "read" – it's that simple.
Precise spot counting
Fixed focus and self-calibrating XY table for a streamlined workflow
Intuitive software for a smooth user experience
Customizable presets for recurrent experiments
Ready for automated plate-loading
Features
Streamlined workflow
An overlooked time-consuming aspect of ELISpot was data analysis. With pre-calibrated settings and handy analysis tools, the time from data acquisition to ready-made analysis has been reduced to a minimum.
Precise spot counting
The software for Mabtech ASTOR is based on our patented RAWspot™ technology. The refined spot center localization lays the foundation for accurate spot counting. This can be confirmed, for example, by how linear the counting is in correlation to a cell dilution. Mabtech ASTOR provides linear spot counting with more than 3,000 spots per well, allowing correct spot processing for a multitude of setups including positive controls.
Read now, analyze later
Select default settings for quick data acquisition. Preferred spot size, plate layout, and image setups can be easily applied after plate reading, without affecting the original data. Find out how Mabtech ASTOR meets the requirements of CFR21 part 11 (FDA guidelines on electronic records in clinical investigations).
Ready for automation
Mabtech ASTOR 2 was designed to make the analysis of larger projects as painless as possible.
