Manufacturer: Thermo
Model: Labsystems Multiskan Ascent 354
S/N: 354-00490
Description:
Thermo Labsystems Multiskan Ascent 354 Microplate Reader is a multi-mode unit for 96- and 384-well plates with a 340-850nm wavelength range. Multiskan Ascent offers superior photometric measurement performance for 96- and 384-well plates. This instrument reads the plate rapidly and can be connected to robotic systems for increased throughput in photometric reading.
Areas of application:
- immunoassays
- protein assays
- growth curves and hormones
- hybridization assays
- minisequencing assays
- cytotoxicity
- cell proliferation
- cell adhesion
- signal transduction
- enzyme assays
- endotoxins
- antioxidants
- food diagnostics
Features:
Excellent optical performance for 96- and 384-well plates:
The high-quality optical system of the Multiskan Ascent ensures excellent reproducibility, accuracy and reliable results.
Fast measurements:
Multiskan Ascent provides not only extreme accuracy and precision, but also very rapid measurements: It takes only 9 seconds to measure a 96-well plate and only 20 seconds to measure a 384-well plate. These values can have a noticeable effect on a laboratory’s throughput.
Easy and flexible robot integration:
Another feature that makes Multiskan Ascent ideal for high-throughput environments is its simple and easy robot integration. This unit is designed for integration, which can increase walk-away reading capacity to 20 or 80 microplates.
