### Useful for documentation

Create visual records that support reporting, traceability, and internal review.

### Flexible platform choice

Use Macrolab or Macroscan depending on your workflow, assay format, and lab setup.

### Supports downstream analysis

Captured images can feed interpretation, review, and subsequent analysis steps.

### Compatible with LIMS

Manage your analysis data in dedicated LIMS or ELN

## Frequently asked questions

Does Digonaut offer plaque assay services?

No. Digonaut provides Macrolab and Macroscan as imaging platforms that support plaque assay workflows, rather than offering plaque assay services.\[MEMORY\_3\]

What can Macrolab and Macroscan image for plaque assays?

The platforms can image the common formats used in plaque assays, including multi-well plates and petri dishes.

Why use an imaging platform for plaque assays?

A dedicated imaging platform helps create clear, consistent visual data for plaque assessment, sample comparison, documentation, and downstream analysis.

Can the platform fit different laboratory workflows?

Yes. The positioning should emphasize flexibility, so laboratories can align Macrolab or Macroscan with their assay format, process, and setup.

How do I choose between Macrolab and Macroscan?

The best choice depends on your assay format, throughput needs, and laboratory workflow. Visit the respective pages to learn more or reach out to one of our specialists.
