Fluoroskan Ascent Fluorescence 96/384 well Plate Reader
models with or without injector Remanufactured 

 

Features:

  • State-of-the-art optical system for unrivalled sensitivity
  • Highly-visual Ascent Software simplifies fluorometric applications 
  • Flexible plate formats, from 6 to 384 wells, enable reading in primary wells
  • Reads from above or below the plate
  • Precise temperature control provides optimum conditions for cell biology and enzyme assays
  • Variable speed orbital shaker for true mixing

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 and 6-384 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

An incubator is onboard for cell biology, enzyme assays and other applications requiring precise temperature control.

Built-in orbital shaking, another advanced feature, speeds up reaction times and ensures effective mixing. Both the speed and amplitude of shaking can be adjusted.


Instruments come with 2 filter pairs of choice, manual, line cord and three year warranty from Factory Trained Engineers.  PC software must be purchased separately.
Additional filter pairs can be purchased.
