Origen IGEN M-Series M8 Toxin Analyzer M8-1003-0950 100-120/200-230V w/ Manual

Origen IGEN M-Series M8 Toxin Analyzer M8-1003-0950 100-120/200-230V w/ Manual

The Origen IGEN M-Series M8 is a benchtop electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection instrument developed by IGEN International for rapid analysis of food-borne, water-borne, and environmental toxins. It uses ECL — a technology in which labeled reagents emit light when electrically stimulated at an electrode surface — to detect target analytes at very low concentrations. The M8 processes up to 8 samples per run and is controlled through an integrated color LCD touchscreen and a built-in QWERTY keyboard running proprietary software. This unit (MPN M8-1003-0950, Rev D) is sold as-is for parts or repair and has not been tested at our facility.

Applications

The IGEN M-Series platform was designed for laboratory testing of food safety, water quality, and environmental samples, specifically for the detection of toxins, pathogens, and other target analytes at trace concentrations using electrochemiluminescence. ECL-based analyzers like the M8 are used in food and beverage quality control labs, environmental monitoring programs, agricultural testing, and research settings where highly sensitive, quantitative detection of multiple analytes per run is required. The technology was originally developed by IGEN International in the 1990s and gained wide adoption in food safety and bioanalytical research; Meso Scale Diagnostics (MSD) later acquired and further commercialized ECL detection technology. The M8 model, with its integrated touchscreen, floppy-drive data storage, and multi-reagent fluid handling system, is characteristic of late-1990s to early-2000s laboratory instrument design. Labs maintaining legacy IGEN-platform methods or sourcing the instrument for parts, repair, or as a reference unit are the primary buyers for this type of equipment.
