Above all: Rock solid data
The need for rigor and reproducibility is paramount in scientific research to ensure experimental outcomes are meaningful. Only with strong foundations in our science can incremental breakthroughs be accomplished. BioTek understands this and builds instruments that are robust and precise. Cytation is a leading example of this philosophy, where automated image capture, processing and analysis of cellular dynamics provides solid, publishable data that cell biologists demand.
