The cell-based assay has become a more and more important technique in drug discovery screening since it effectively evaluates potential drug candidate compounds using cultured cells transformed with receptor genes and reporter genes and various types of fluorescent and luminescent probes. The FDSS (Functional Drug Screening System) series is a powerful, high throughput screening device that optically detects complicated signal transmissions within a living organism to develop or discover new drugs and lead compounds. Based on the current model FDSS6000 that has received world-wide acclaim, Hamamatsu introduces the FDSS7000 - the top-rated model with the addition of diverse new functions including 1536 dispensing tips and multiple wash tanks. The FDSS7000 continues to offer real-time kinetic analysis of various types of both nonadherent and adherent cells.
Field upgradable components including the 'FRET attachment', robotics integration, additional heads, and more allow for a customized system for you now and in the future.

Dual dispenser
	- Newly released 1536 disposable tip head - High speed movement of dispenser head - Protocols support two heads
Multi-washing units with ultrasound
	- Up to 3 tip washing stations - Ultrasound cleaning - Wiping stage to dry tips
New sensor for detecting weak luminescence
	- Improved sensitivity over current photon detector - Best luminescence detection available on the market
Excitation and emission wavelength flexibility
	- Dual excitation ratiometric dyes (Fura-2) - Dual emission dyes (VSP-1, Premo) - Multiplexing calcium and membrane potential
Plate shaking function
	- Throughout assay to improve compound dispersion immediately after addition - Useful with nonadherent cells
User-friendly software
	- Fast and easy protocol design - Multiple parameters are color coded
