needs.
Modulus II Multimode Microplate
Reader
6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates
The
NEW Modulus™ II Multimode Microplate Reader accepts 6, 12, 24, 48,

linear and orbital shaking feature. Heating capabilities can be
purchased as an option. Unlike the Modulus Multimode Microplate
Reader (below), the Modulus II Microplate Reader includes a
one-of-a-kind protocol composer that makes setting up a custom
protocol easy. Simply drag and drop any number of parameters into
the protocol menu and press start.
Modulus Multimode
Microplate Reader

Luminescence Microplate Readers – DLR
Ready
Veritas Microplate
Luminometer
96-well plates
The
Veritas™ Microplate Luminometer is a state-of-the-art instrument
that meets the requirement for high sensitivity and broad dynamic
range that is necessary for chemiluminescent and bioluminescent
applications. With optional Single or Dual Auto Injectors, the
Veritas™ Microplate Luminometer is a versatile luminescence system
capable of performing both flash and glow-type luminescent assays.
Modulus II Multimode
Microplate Reader with Luminescence Module
6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates
The
Modulus™ II Multimode Microplate Reader with the Luminescence Module
is designed to deliver performance equivalent to dedicated
microplate luminometers while also offering the flexibility of a
multimode reader. To achieve sensitivity on par with that of a
dedicated luminometer, the luminescence channel is separated from
other measurement technologies and positioned directly above the
sample well. These conditions maximize light capture for the best
possible sensitivity. In conjunction, a low-noise photomultiplier
tube ensures that collected light is not compromised in any way.
This design makes the Modulus™ II Microplate Reader between 10 to
1000 times more sensitive than competing multimode luminometers. In
addition to high sensitivity, this instrument boasts greater than 8
logs of dynamic range, eliminating the need to dilute samples or
manage detector-driven gain changes. To achieve this extra large
reading range, the Modulus™ II Microplate Reader is capable of
simultaneously measuring samples of varying brightness. The
photomultiplier tube automatically adjusts for the optimum reading
of bright or dim samples. This means that the Modulus™ II Microplate
Reader is capable of achieving a reading range of 2 – 3 logs more
than competing multimode luminometers.

Fluorescence
Microplate Readers
Modulus II
Multimode Microplate Reader with Fluorescence Module
6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates
The
Modulus™ II Multimode Microplate Reader with the Fluorescence
Module (user installable) is designed to deliver both high
performance and user flexibility. To achieve high performance,
the Modulus™ II Microplate Fluorescence Module uses an
epifluorescent design to ensure a consistent measurement
position. This pinpointed approach reduces the impact of volume
fluctuation within small samples by reliably measuring at the
same position from well to well. The Fluorescence Module accepts
different Fluorescence Optical Kits for measuring a variety of
fluorophores. Four standard optical kits are available to
measure the most popular fluorophores including Hoechst dye,
fluorescein, rhodamine, Cy3, and Cy5. In addition, custom
optical kits can be readily made for non-standard applications.
Optical kits can be easily exchanged in seconds and built-in
software ensures that the installed optical kit matches the
selected application protocol. Protocols for nucleic acids and
proteins such as PicoGreen®, RiboGreen®, and Quant-iT™ assays
are preprogrammed into the Modulus™ II Microplate Reader for
your convenience. The Fluorescence Module is designed as a
user-installable module. This means that you can either buy the
Fluorescence Module now or add it to your system later when your
lab is ready to run fluorescence experiments.
