Beckman Coulter has announced four new cartridges for the Paradigm Detection Platform, the company's user-configurable and upgradeable multimode reader.
The cartridges increase the total number of interchangeable detection choices to 14, extending platform utility and return on investment for Paradigm customers.
The options include two additional luminescence detection cartridges optimised for 96- and 384-well plate formats, a detection cartridge for Bret2 (Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer) live cell assays and a Rhodamine fluorescence cartridge for a selection of cyanine dyes.
The well-isolating design of each cartridge is optimised for a specific plate format to provide increased sensitivity with reduced cross talk.
The Dual Luminescence detection cartridge is optimised for use with Bret2 live cell assays and includes predefined protocols and data analysis tools.
This cartridge is suitable for the study of protein-protein interactions.
The NFluorescence Intensity detection cartridge delivers speed and high sensitivity in applications using Cy3 and equivalent Rhodamine fluorescent labels.
Paradigm cartridges can be interchanged in less than five minutes, without hardware changes, to meet different assay needs.
