Dual-mode plate reader with filter-based optics for absorbance and fluorescence (top and bottom reading) applications. Your cost-effective tool for highest demands in sensitivity.
Features and technologies
The Infinite F Nano+ has been created to provide an affordable, filter-based solution delivering sensitive results for typical absorbance and fluorescence applications.
Using filter-based optics offers higher sensitivity than monochromator-based systems, with the trade-off being reduced flexibility in wavelength selection. The Infinite F Nano+ minimizes this inconvenience by using L-shaped filter slides, which can hold up to four absorbance or fluorescence filters. Each slide has an ID chip that allows you to save filter definitions directly onto, enabling the system to automatically recognize the filters and simplifying slide handling.
The system’s fluorescence optics include dichroic mirrors to dramatically improve performance for fluorescent dyes that are excited below and emit light above 510 nm, such as fluorescein. This ensures very low detection limits, typically around 85 amol/well (384-well plate, 100 µl).
