Four to Five measurement principles for the wide
range of applications
|
The
Galaxy models are fully automated
microplate based multi-detection readers which incorporates
four to five
different measurement principles:
- Fluorescence
- Fluorescence Intensity
- Time-Resolved Fluorescence
- Polarization
- Luminescence
- Absorbance
Ca2+ Measurements (e.g. Ca2+ Flux with
Fura-2 or Indo-1)
Enzyme Activity
Cell Toxicity, Proliferation and Viability
ATP Quantification
Immunoassays |
By integrating a high intensity xenon flash lamp and liquid
light guide technology, the Galaxy can cover the wavelength
range from 250 to 740 nm in Absorbance. The Galaxy can read plate
formats of 96-well plates in all measurement
modes. Top-to-bottom readings.

Incubation
Temperature-regulated heating plates above and below the entire
plate movement area provide uniform incubation up to 45°C.
Endpoint, slow and fast kinetic measurements
Kinetic applications can be defined,
with interval times from 100 ms to several hours. In addition,
there is the possibility to measure where it is important in a
kinetic study.
Multi-color detection
The fast filter wheels and the ability to define up to 8 sets of
filter, each with individual gain and measurement timing
parameters, allow analysis of multiple fluorophores in a single
well (FRET, dual-emission, DNA-detection). |
