Instrument Description
and Capabilities:
- State-of-the-art optical
system for unrivalled sensitivity
- Highly-visual Ascent
Software simplifies fluorometric applications
- Flexible plate formats, from 6 to 96
wells and 6 to 384 wells, enable reading in primary wells
- Reads from above or above the plate all
models
- Filters installed 355/485nm (or your choice)
- Precise temperature
control provides optimum conditions for cell biology and enzyme assays
(various models)
- Variable speed orbital
shaker for true mixing
- Superior quality, current model manufactured in Finland
since the 1980's
- Easily reset to 220 Voltage
The direct illumination
optics of the Fluoroskan Ascent produces a highly focused light beam. In
fluorescence measurement, this prevents crosstalk and ensures accurate
readings. Two beam diameter settings, 3 mm and 1.5 mm, allow optimal
readings of
96 well plates. Automatic gain selection eliminates the need for
manual adjustment in fluorometry. It also guarantees the best possible
sensitivity and dynamic range for all wavelengths.
On-board incubation and
orbital shaking (various models)
An incubator is
onboard for cell biology, enzyme assays and other applications requiring
precise temperature control.
Built-in orbital shaking up to 99 hours, 99
minutes and 99 seconds,
another advanced feature, speeds up reaction times and ensures effective
mixing. Both the speed and amplitude of shaking can be adjusted. Frequency
from 1 - 50 mm diameter.
Instruments come with filter pairs, line cord and three year warranty from
Factory Trained Engineers.
Additional filter pairs can be purchased. MTX Lab Systems, Inc. has
sold and serviced these instruments since 1990's!
