ImmunoSpot® Analyzers
In 1995, CTL’s founding scientists introduced image analysis-based ELISPOT counting (US Patent 6,410,252 B1), making the beginning of ImmunoSpot® Readers. Since then, thousands of these instruments have been sold world-wide serving the “who’s who” of academic and biotechnology researchers.
This success of ImmunoSpot® readers can be attributed to 25 years of continuous effort by CTL’s dedicated fulltime software team working hand in hand with CTL’s in house ELISPOT efforts both in the academic (See CTL Publications) and the regulated sector. (See CTL CRO Service)
