Multimode Microplate Reader
Modulus Multimode Microplate Reader
User-friendly operation touch screen control, data download onto USB stick
Microplate format - Accepts 96-well plates conforming to the SBS plate standard
3 Detection Modes: Luminescence, Fluorescence, Visible Absorbance
Compatible with most commercially available kits
Luminescence Module:
- 8 Logs Dynamic Range
- Dual-masking System Reduces Crosstalk
- Very high sensitivity
The Luminescence module is separated from other measurement technologies and positioned
directly above the sample well, maximizing light capture for increased sensitivity,
with a detection limit of 3 x 10-21 moles Luciferase Detection or 1 x 10-18 moles
ATP. The head-on photomultiplier tube has a spectral range of 350-650 nm and automatically
adjusts for the optimum reading of bright or dim samples.
Dual auto injectors are available for flash-based luminescence applications or dual-reporter
assays. Each injector system has a volume range of 25 - 200 l in 5l increments.
Fluorescence Module
- Epifluorescent Detection
- Multiple Optical Kits Available
- High Sensitivity
The Fluorescence module uses powerful wave-length matched, light-emitting PIN photodiodes (LEDs) as excitation sources. The narrow excitation/emission spectrum increases sensitivity and reduces non-specific light leakage. The fluorescence capability has a maximum linear dynamic range of 6 logs and a detection limit of 0.5 fmol/200 l or 1 ppt of fluorescein in a 96-well plate, or 30 pg/well dsDNA with a DNA quantification dye
