Orion II – Full Service Luminometer
The Orion II is more than a basic luminometer. It makes assay preparation flawless. For assays that require shaking, three mixing modes are available: linear, orbital and cross shaking. Flexible speed and amplitude settings allow easy adaptation to any assay protocol. Orion II offers two different types of sample incubation. Top and bottom microplate incubation ensures exceptional temperature stability in the sample chamber for temperature control up to 50°C. For applications that require up to 42°C incubation, the optional bottom heating function is recommended.

Measure With The Highest Sensitivity
The outstanding sensitivity of Orion II is the result of the unique design, advanced engineering, and high quality workmanship. All functions of the Orion II are seamlessly integrated to render superior, user-friendly performance.
The detector is operated in photon counting mode, which guarantees the lowest signal background for unsurpassed signal to noise ratio and the highest linearity. The plate adjustment mechanism automatically compensates for variations in microplate size. The built-in safety circuit protects the detector from potential damage resulting from accidental exposure to high levels of light. In addition, a warning is produced should a sample ever exceed measurement range.
Unlimited Options for Reagent Addition
The combination of reagent addition options is virtually unlimited. Up to four automatic reagent injectors are available with injection volumes of 10 to150 μl each. For increased throughput, simultaneous injection is possible.
The optimized reagent holders accommodate any shape and any size bottle in a position that allows the complete use of valuable reagent.
