Multimode Detection
A multimode plate reader provides flexibility by supporting multiple detection technologies within a single instrument. This allows you to perform a wide variety of assays, such as absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence, without needing multiple specialized devices. This versatility not only saves space and reduces costs but also streamlines workflows, enhances efficiency, and provides flexibility to adapt to different experimental needs and applications.
Discover the Product1 Photometry
Absorbance and turbidity modes can be used for nucleic acid analysis, protein quantitation, ELISA, cell viability assays, and endotoxin testing.
2 Fluorimetry
The fluorescent mode can be used for reporter gene assays, calcium flux assays, binding assays, nucleic acid quantitation, and cell viability assays.
3 Luminometry
The luminescent mode can be used for ATP assays (cytotoxicity, proliferation, or contamination), reporter gene assays, Ca2+ assays, and protein-protein interactions (binding studies).
