There had to be a better way – a more scientific way

During discussions with scientists worldwide, we have realized that subjective interpretation of spot images is a problem.

That is why we contacted Professor Jaldén of the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and a group of engineers at the Swedish company Qamcom Research and Technology. By combining our experience of biological applications and their expertise in signal processing we’ve produced an instrument that reinvents spot analysis.

We call her Mabtech IRIS.

We love ELISpot, and we know that many of our customers do too. We built Mabtech ASTOR for all of us.

Mabtech ASTOR is the little brother to Mabtech IRIS and is based on the same framework. The readers are developed by Mabtech, together with top engineers, and include a novel spot-counting algorithm, RAWspot technology. This innovation combined with hardware and easy-to-use software gives optimal spot analysis instruments.

ASTOR and IRIS allow a streamlined workflow: No hassle with calibration or individual setup because the camera focus and XY table are automatic. The algorithm is based on signal processing and provides objective results for immediate analysis. Every spot, including the small ones can be detected and counted.
