Description

The Varioskan LUX is a modular, upgradable instrument that provides excellent usability across a variety of applications.

Up to five measurement technologies: Absorbance (UV-Vis), Fluorescence intensity (incl. FRET), Luminescence (direct and filtered), AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA and Time-resolved fluorescence (incl. TR-FRET/hTRF)
Filter and monochromator optics
Spectral scanning for assay optimization
Five measurement modes including end point, kinetic, spectra, kinetic spectra and multipoint
Integrated gas control module for setting CO2 and O2 concentrations for cell based assays
Simultaneous dispensing and measurement for signal monitoring at the start of a reaction
Automatic dynamic range selection, based on signal intensity of each well
Smart safety controls designed to identify and alert the user of potential problems before they happen
Automated instrument calibration and self-diagnostics for reliable performance
