FB12 Single Tube Luminometer
The FB12 system is ideal for measurement of glow type luminescence from single samples. Due to the unique design, a variety of sample formats can be accom-modated. In stand-alone mode, FB12 is ready for standard measurements. Samples are readily loaded into the retractable drawer. Closing the sample drawer automatically initiates the measurement. An external printer may be connected optionally. The modular Windows® Luminometer PC-Software or the Pocket PC-Luminometer Software can further enhance performance by organizing the measurement dialog and data evaluation.
FB12 Luminometer combines a very small footprint with excellent sensitivity and outstanding ease of use. FB12 Single Tube Lumino-meter is the instrument of choice for all luminescent glow type applications performed in single sample format, for example:
Reporter gene assays, including dual-reporter assays:
- ATP assays
- Cell-proliferation, cytotoxicity and biomass assays, apoptosis assays
- Detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell culture
- Cellular luminescence/reactive oxygen species
- Environmental toxicity
- and mutagenicity assays
Detector
The FB12 Luminometer features advanced photoncounting electronics coupled with a highly sensitive detector, providing the lowest signal background and highest linearity spanning 6 decades. No cumbersome internal calibration is required and no gain switch is needed.
Light collection is maximized through both the proximity of the sample to the detector and the use of optimized light reflectors surrounding the sample vial. As a result, reporter gene assays using firefly luciferase can now detect less than 1000 molecules of the enzyme with the FB12 Luminometer.
Stand-alone Operation
FB12 offers basic raw data, extended raw data and Cut-off measurement protocols. The interface supports the addition of an external serial printer.
Three softkeys allow easy and intuitive operation. Both delay and measurement time can be set in steps of 0.1s.
