Applications

Highlights

Double Monochromators

Two double monochromators for excitation and emission respectively
Entire wavelength flexibility in absorbance and fluorescence measurements
Can also be used for Time-Resolved Fluorescence and Luminescence measurements
Exceptional performance and versatility

RFID-coded Filters

For applications requiring the high light transmission of filters (e.g. BRET and Fluorescence Polarization)
RFID-coding of the filters enable and secure their error-free usage

Built-in Reagent Injectors

Up to 4 reagent injectors
Superior accuracy and precision (JET Injection technology)
Excellent mixing performance
Variable injections speeds and "friendly" material enable even injection of live cells
Reagent bottles can be kept in ice or at elevated temperatures

High sensitivity

Less than 2 amol Europium (TRF)
Less than 0.2 fmol Fluorescein (Fluorescence)
Less than 2 amol ATP (Luminescence)

Waste Pump

Excess fluids from priming and washing procedures are safely discarded via an automatic waste pump

Temperature Control

A temperature controlled incubation area ensures stable conditions for the microplate
Condensation of lidded microplates is reduced.

Automatic Plate Height Adjustment (Z Optimization)

The plate height adjustment module detects the height of the plate used and automatically adjusts the measurement optics for it
No need any more for users to perform time-consuming Z-scans
Ensures that there will be no crosstalk from adjacent wells
