The High Sensitivity Microplate Luminometer

The CentroXS³ LB 960 meets all currently known requirements for a versatile, robust and sensitive microplate luminometer. The reader supports all basic luminescence technologies including

Flash-type Luminescence, e.g reporter gene assays

Glow-type Luminescence

The selected detector and the proprietary design of the optical system guarantee lowest background and negligible crosstalk. It is the instrument of choice for reporter gene assays and ATP determination when highest sensitivity is required.

Features

Built-in Reagent Injectors

Up to 3 reagent injectors can be set up to dispense multiple activators or detection reagents at any time and with user-adjustable volumes during the measurement.

Berthold Technologies´ injectors are based on the proprietary JET Injection technology. Superior accuracy and precision is combined with excellent mixing performance. Variable injections speeds and "friendly" material enable even injection of live cells (e.g. in Aequorin based GPCR screening).

Waste Pump

Excess fluids from priming and washing procedures are safely discarded via an automatic waste pump.

Small Footprint

The design of the LB 960 Centro requires minimum bench space. All the important features are built in allowing maximum use of available bench space. The reagent injectors are housed within the small footprint, providing the advantage of short tubing and thus a low dead volume.
