Thermo Scientific Fluoroskan Ascent and Fluoroskan Ascent FL Microplate Fluorometers

DESCRIPTION

These compact and robust instruments feature versatile plate formats, fast reading speeds, and excellent optical performance for a variety of fluorometric or luminometric research applications

Fast reading speeds are especially suitable for applications such as cytotoxicity, ion channel, and FRET or BRET. Reads a 96-well plate in just 15 seconds, essential for kinetic applications. Equipped with up to three reagent dispensers for rapid kinetic assays such as Ca2+ flux. Supports simultaneous dispensing and reading, enabling monitoring of kinetic measurements from the very start of the reaction. Very low dead volume and backflush capability conserve expensive reagents.

High sensitivity for both top and bottom readings, wide dynamic range, and low cross-talk provide accurate and precise results for six to 384-well plates. Fiberless direct illumination optics are utilized for both bottom and top readings. Reads up to 384-well plates for increased assay throughput. Easily integrates with automated systems.

The versatile assay programming of the Fluoroskan Ascent™ FL model allows fast measurements of fluorometric GFP and luminometric luciferase from the same well.

Ideal for life science applications such as protein and enzyme studies, molecular interactions, nucleic acid quantification, reporter gene, fluorometric kinase, immuno and cell-based assays.
