Hardware Overview

BIOQUANT OSTEO, BIOQUANT Life Science, and the BIOQUANT SCAN Add-on support specific hardware. Some hardware interfaces directly with BIOQUANT and can be controlled from within the software.

Recommended and Supported Hardware

Computer Requirements

BIOQUANT systems are tested with Dell Precision 5820 Tower computers.

Labs located in the United States can purchase the workstation directly from BIOQUANT or through your university.

Labs outside of the United States can purchase the the workstation directly from the local Dell office.

Microscope Upgrade Kits

Additionally, BIOQUANT provides Microscope Upgrade Kits that enable you to see the live image from your existing microscope in the BIOQUANT software.

Different options are provided that depend on your budget and analysis needs. You might just add a camera for live image, or you might add a manually encoded stage for field to field tracking, or you might add a motorized stage for automated slide scanning.

Jenoptik Cameras

Jenoptik Graphax sCMOS Digital Cameras use a next generation scientific CMOS sensor with a global shutter and a simple USB3 interface. All the cameras in this family provide a live image at 1920x1200 with at least 30 frames per second. This is 2X to 4X faster than current CCD cameras and 4X resolution.

Capture Images or Measure on a Live Image

BIOQUANT has written a custom driver interface which allows rapid image capture or measurement directly on the live image stream, there is no the need to capture or save an image file..

OSTEOIMAGER Scanner

The BIOQUANT OSTEOIMAGER scanner is an inverted microscopy system for the automated imaging of both histological sections and cell cultures.

It scans both histology sections and cell cultures using the BIOQUANT SCAN Add-on.

A motorized nosepiece allows it to scan with 4X, 10X, 20X, or 40X objectives and is controlled within BIOQUANT SCAN.

It scans in brightfield, multi-channel fluorescence, polarized light, or darkfield.

CoolLED pE-300 Fluorescence Light Source

CoolLED pE-300 White multi-channel fluorescence illuminator

Broad spectrum, multi-LED fluorescence illumination source.

Supports simultaneous or individual Calcein and Alizarin Red fluorescence labeling for dynamic histomorphometry.

Manual and BIOQUANT software control.

Direct microscope mount or remote attachment via 3mm liquid light guide.
