The Mithras LB 940 operates with dedicated optical paths (DOPS) to ensure the best available performance for each technology.
The unit combines fluorescence and luminescence modes with the uncompromised performance of dedicated instruments. The sensitivity of the luminescence function exceeds even that of the best dedicated plate luminometers.
BRET and FRET for receptor studies and protein/protein interactions can also be measured with exceptional sensitivity as well as homogenous fluorescence polarization assays.
Mithras can be supplemented with up to 4 reagent injectors %u2013 based on the proven and highly precise JET technology %u2013 and a temperature control unit for the microplates. That offers extensive opportunities to the users to perform a huge number of applications including enzyme activities, phagocytosis, calcium flux, cell viability, apoptosis, protein and DNA determinations or protein-protein interactions.
The software is supporting a multitude of functions including standard curves and kinetic data reduction as well as the 21 CFK part 11 requirements.
For medium level throughput environments such as ´assay development´ or ´secondary screening´ the instrument can be equipped with a stacker.
