Filter-based absorbance detector is specially designed to fit on the deck for easy integration with liquid handling system
Beckman Coulter announces a new absorbance detector for its Biomek FX liquid handling system.
The filter-based absorbance detector ALP (automated labware positioner) is specially designed to fit on the deck of the Biomek FX, for easy integration with the system.
In addition, the top of the detector can be used for microtiter plate positions to conserve valuable deck space.
The absorbance detector ALP is ideal for a wide range of life science applications, including colorimetric reporter assays, Elisas and protein quantification assays.
For use with 96- and 384-well plates, the versatile instrument performs endpoint, kinetic, linear scan and area scan measurements in the 340-750nm wavelength range.
It also features on-board shaking and temperature control.
Biomek FX is said to have the highest capacity deck space available today, allowing application-specific devices to operate directly on the deck while a unique gripper moves entire stacks of plates.
The system's interchangeable ALPs allow maximum flexibility while providing precise configuration and positioning of functional devices on the worksurface.
