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 multilabel reader offers performances known from dedicated instruments. 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 multitechnology plate reader.
In addition, assays based on the reading technologies BRET, e.g. functional GPCR assays, and FRET for protein-protein interactions may be performed.
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.
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.
For medium level throughput environments the instrument can be equipped with a stacker for 25 or 50 plates capacities.
