Thermo VarioSkan Lux VLBL0TD0 Multimode Plate Reader with SkanIT Software

Share Item

The Thermo Varioskan Lux is a versatile multimode microplate reader system.  The system allows for multiple different types of assays to be performed using the same instrument.   Depending on the model of Varioskan Lux system, the user can perform assays requirement measurement of Absorbance (UV-Vis), Fluorescence (inc. FRET; Top/Bottom), Luminescence (direct and filtered), and Time-Resolved (inc. TR-FRET/hTRF) Fluorescence, and AlphaScreen Assays.  Dispensers (if included) allow for  enzymatic assays such as the Luciferase assay.

The Varioskan Lux system features Automatic Dynamic Range Selection allowing for automated optimal gain settings depending on the signal from each well – a process that prevents oversaturation and high sensitivity and a dynamic range of over 6 decades.

The Varioskan LUX VLBLOTD0 is configured to perform Absorbance (UV-Vis), Fluorescence and Luminescence assays.  Fluorescence can be measured from above or below the sample using ‘clear bottom’ plates. The unit is in excellent condition (only used to perform testing).  The unit comes with accessories, performance data certificates, Skan-it software on USB-Flash Drive.  Sale comes with a 90-day warranty.
