TriStar Multimode Microplate Reader LB 941
from
BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES
Description
TriStar is the ideal instrument for biomedical research whenever multiple reading technologies and excellent performance are needed.
Absorbance
Luminescence
Fluorescence
All common applications including DNA and protein quantification, Calcium monitoring, reporter gene assay, ATP determination, cell growth and viability, apoptosis, phagocytosis and enzyme kinetics will run on TriStar LB 941.
In addition, assays based on the reading technologies BRET, e.g. functional GPCR assays, and FRET for protein-protein interactions may be performed.
Reagent Injectors
Up to 4 reagent injectors can be set up to dispense multiple activators or detection reagents at any time and with user-adjustable volumes during the measurement. Berthold Technologies´ injectors are based on the proprietory JET Injection technology. Superior accuracy and precision is combined with excellent mixing performance. Variable injection speeds and "friendly" material enable even injection of live cells.
Temperature Control
A temperature controlled microplate compartment (5°C above room temperature to 40°C) ensures stable conditions whenever temperature sensitive enzymes or cells are in use.
Shaking
3 modes each with variable speed of the integrated shaker to enhance mixing and optimise sample distribution before measurement in long term kinetics.
DOPS – the Unique Optics
In contrast to the usual kind of multi-technology instruments TriStar multimode microplate reader has been designed with a proprietory optical system consisting of optimised paths for each reading technology (DOPS). So, TriStar offers performances known from dedicated instruments.
Stacker & Robotic Integration
For medium level throughput environments such as ´assay development´ or ´secondary screening´ the instrument can be equipped with a stacker. The stacker is available in a 20 or 100 microtiter plate capacity versions.
