Thermo Scientific Varioskan Flash Spectral Scanning Multimode Reader – Like New!

System Description:

Thermo Scientific Varioskan Flash is a spectral scanning multimode reader, including fluorescence intensity, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), photometric, and luminometric detection technologies. It offers optimal performance for demanding research assays with unlimited wavelength selection, up to three onboard dispensers, utmost optical performance and the advanced Thermo Scientific SkanIt Software.

System Capabilities (installed):

Fluorescence intensity (top/bottom)
Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF)
Spectral scanning Luminometry
High sensitivity Luminometry (flash and glow)
UV/Vis photometry
Multilabel measurement (BRET, FRET, TR-FRET)


Features:

Unlimited wavelength selection for spectral analysis and measurement at any single wavelength—the optimal measurement wavelengths can be identified and easily selected for any assay at any time
Extremely easy measurement setup with automated internal functions ensuring maximal sensitivity and full dynamic range for every assay
Onboard dispensers for exact follow-up of kinetic reactions—essential for flash luminescence assays, Ca2+ flux studies and other rapid kinetic applications
Increased assay throughput—reads up to 1536-well plates and can easily be integrated with automated systems
High performance incubator for temperature critical assays
Easy assay setup, flexible data handling and convenient report formatting with SkanIt Software
