The FLx800 Multi-Detection Microplate Reader combines excellent specifications and performance with convenience and ease of use. This design incorporates powerful performance at a price much lower than traditional fluorescence-luminescence microplate readers. The FLx800 line includes several models with options that meet the specific needs of research and OEM users. Top and bottom reading are available to read anything from 6-well to 384-well microplates, and PCR plates. An optional external dispenser module allows you to run applications such as ion channel assays and flash luminescence assays (e.g. luciferase, ATP).
The FLx800 has on-board data reduction software or can be fully computer controllable via BioTek's powerful Gen5™ Data Analysis Software.
Features:
Custom-mapped fiber optics for optimal signal transfer
Selectable, automated top- or bottom-probe reading for best sensitivity
Typical fluorescence sensitivity to 5 pg sodium fluorescein
Glow luminescence reading with top detection for best sensitivity
Incubation to 50ºC for temperature-sensitive assays
PCR tube-reading option available
Reads 6- to 384-well formats and PCR plates
Convenient front panel accessory access makes changing filters simple
Powerful on-board data reduction software
Computer control via Gen5™ Software
