Description
Our newest multimode microplate reader is a versatile, entry level multimode microplate reader for most common absorbance, turbidimetric, fluorescence, and luminescence microplate assays. Photometric optical design is based on a xenon flash lamp and monochromator for enabling continuous wavelength selection from the UV through the visible range up to 1,000 nm. The broad wavelength ranges enable many common assays including nucleic acid and protein quantification, bacterial growth curves, ELISA, and cell viability.
Features
In addition to being fast, flexible, and easy to use, the Varioskan ALF multimode reader also features:
- Kinetic and endpoint measurements for a variety of applications.
- Spectral scanning for photometric measurements.
- Separate optimized measurement modes for absorbance and turbidimetric measurements.
- A self-diagnostics system includes set of initialization tests and adjustments ensuring instrument readiness for operation.
- Compatible with 6 to 384-well microplates with and without lids.
- Reads µDrop and µDrop Duo plates for microvolume analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins.
- Performs onboard shaking and incubation for temperature-critical assays.
- Operated through SkanIt software
- Unlimited installation on multiple computers, no annual fee required.
- Includes an extensive cloud-based library of ready-made protocols.
- Two editions available—Research Edition for life sciences, Drug Discovery Edition with features for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
- Multiple user interface languages available.
- Automation compatibility for integration with automation interface.
- Thermo Scientific verification plates provide comprehensive and traceable validation of the instrument optical performance. Ready-made SkanIt software protocols provide easy to read reports with defined measurement parameter limits.
