Lablogic has announced that, until the end of July 2009, any customer that buys a Chameleon V microplate reader will receive a free temperature control unit worth GBP690.
The Chameleon V microplate reader is capable of detecting both radiometric and non-radiometric labels and encompassing up to six different technologies in a compact design.
Purchasers can select the combination of methods best suited to their individual needs: luminescence, fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, fluorescence polarisation, absorbance and liquid scintillation counting.
The Chameleon's optical design achieves high sensitivity in all detection modes - TRF sensitivity down to 5amol Eu/well and LSC efficiency above 50 per cent for H3.
In addition, serial dilution experiments have shown that the Chameleon's dual PMT design and ultra-high sensitivity luminescence mode make for a highly sensitive luminometer, with a detection limit of less than 1amol ATP/well.
The Chameleon has many other 'additional' features as standard, such as a shaking facility, >100 scanning points per well, variable measurement/count times and multiplexing (for multiple measurements of samples using different technologies and wavelength settings).
All of these features are made manageable by Mikrowin 2000 Lite software, which is included with the reader.
To complete the package, Lablogic can provide a range of customising accessories, such as up to two built-in injectors, temperature control with a range of ambient +2C-42C and robot/stacker compatibility.
