Thermo Scientific Varioskan Lux VLBL0TD0 Microplate Reader
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Varioskan LUX is an advanced multimode microplate reader designed to simplify laboratory workflows while delivering top tier data reliability. Built for researchers with diverse assay demands, this instrument features automated dynamic range selection that automatically optimizes signal intensity to prevent user error and eliminate the need for manual adjustments.
Equipped with high performance double monochromators for absorbance and fluorescence, it eliminates the strict dependency on specialized optical filters for everyday scanning tasks. The VLBL0TD0 variant provides an edge for cellular assays, tracking fluorescent and luminescent data via both top and bottom optics. This benchtop workhorse is controlled externally via the intuitive SkanIt software, supporting rapid protocol design and flexible data export options.
Key Features • Four-in-One Tech: Absorbance, Fluorescence, Luminescence, and TRF • Top Bottom Optics: Superior flexibility for cell-based and solution assays • Auto-Dynamic Range: Adjusts parameters automatically based on signal strengths • Fast Microplate Processing: Reads 96-well configurations in under 15 seconds • Precision Control: Built-in orbital shaking and precise incubator chamber • Smart Safety Tools: Automated self-diagnostics alert users to potential setup errors
