Colorimetric and turbidimetric analysis of endotoxins using the absorbance detection mode
Torn between a colorimetric or turbidimetric LAL assay? Whichever path you take, BMG LABTECH’s absorbance readers deliver dependable results every time.
PHERAstar® FSXは、最高感度と最速測定を実現したハイスループットスクリーニング用のマルチモードプレートリーダーです。独自のOptic Moduleシステム、完全同時の二波長蛍光(発光)測定、ダイナミックレンジ拡張機能 、UV/visスペクトロメーター、AASシステム、AlphaScreen®およびTRF専用レーザーにより、3456ウェルのマイクロプレートでも簡単かつ迅速にアッセイを実行することが可能です。


PHERAstar FSXは、取り扱いが簡単なオプティックモジュールにより波長の選択を行います。モジュールごとにフィルター情報を含むバーコードが付いているため、フィルターの管理も容易です。その組み合わせはBMG LABTECHのアプリケーションサポートがアッセイに最適なフィルター、ダイクロイックミラー、偏光フィルターなどを選定するため、研究者の方がフィルターの組み合わせに悩む必要はありません。さらに、PHERAstar FSXは2組計4つのPMTを搭載しており、測定モードに応じて自動的に切り替わります。これにより、すべての測定モードにおいて完全二波長同時測定が可能です。
EDR(ダイナミックレンジ拡張)機能とオートフォーカス技術により、測定前のマニュアル設定は不要となり、測定条件の最適化がこれまで以上に容易になりました。
HTSの自動化において、PHERAstar FSXはロボットシステムへ容易に組み込むことができ、優れたシステムインテグレーションとマルチユーザーコントロールを提供します。
PHERAstar FSXは研究用途にのみご使用いただけます。
