Dynex Technologies MLX 96 Well Plate Luminometer

The MLX, a highly sensitive microplate luminometer with on-board computer, uses the familiar Revelation software platform for data analysis and reporting. With excellent sensitivity, eight decades of dynamic range and a specially designed plate mask to minimize cross talk, the MLX Luminometer helps you produce consistent results plate-to-plate, day-to-day and instrument-to-instrument. This model comes with 0-3 positive displacement dispensers and temperature control to 45 *C. (as noted)~ Sensitivity: Alkaline phosphatase (10-21 moles) ~ Dynamic range: 0.0008 - 10,000 RLU ~ Linearity: R2 > 0.999 from 0.001 - 9900 RLU ~ Precision: Better than 1% from 0.3 - 9900 RLU ~ Cross talk: <2.5 x 10-5 from 0.0001 - 999.99 RLU. The MLX Microtiter Luminescence Detection System is highly sensitive and geared toward measuring luminescence in 96-well plates.

This instrument contains Revelation, Dynex's operating and data analysis software in Windows format. This luminometer features a broad temperature control range, from 5°-45°C.  Long Dynamic range at 8 decades 0.0008-10,000.  Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse not included. Software is contained on the hard drive.

Specifications:

Long Dynamic Range

  • 8 Decade
  • High, Medium, Low gain settings
  • Auto gain for Flash and Glow reactions

Light Sampling Rate - 100 Readings per Second

  • Highest resolution for flash reactions
  • Better reproducibility with more readings per user set time
