Features and Benefits

Optic Module Simplifies Assays

Easy-to-configure optic modules detected by the instrument via a barcode contain all the filters needed to run a specific assay in one click

Simultaneous Dual Emission

Enables measurement of two emitted wavelengths at the same time reducing read times and increasing throughput ideal for multiplex Alpha assays

Decay Curve Monitoring (DCM)

DCM optimizes and fine-tunes assays using a TR-FRET dedicated photon counting detection system that improves signal detection and reduces background noise

LVis Low-Volume Microplate

BMG LabTech UV/Vis Absorbance spectrometer-based microplate readers are compatible with LVis Low-volume Microplate with cuvette slots for 2ul Samples (Sold Separately)
