Features of TriStar2 LB 942
Built-in Reagent Injectors Up to 3 reagent injectors can be set up to dispense multiple activators or detection reagents at any time and with user-adjustable volumes during the measurement. Berthold Technologies´ injectors are based on the proprietary JET Injection technology. Superior accuracy and precision is combined with excellent mixing performance. Variable injections speeds and "friendly" material enable even injection of live cells (e.g. in Aequorin based GPCR screening). One of the injector tips is located in reading position enabling the measurement of very fast labels, e.g. Acridinium esters, and to inject activators into a running kinetic. The ergonomic design of the housing provides front access of the injectors keeping the reagent reservoirs within reach and within eyesight. A through allows keeping the reagent bottles on ice or elevated temperatures – just as required.
Wash Plate Excess fluids from priming and washing procedures are safely discarded via a specially designed wash plate.
Temperature Control A temperature controlled microplate compartment ensures stable conditions whenever temperature sensitive enzymes or cells are in use.
Front Access of Reagents The reagent reservoirs can be placed on the front for easy access and monitoring. A smoked see through lid protects the reagents from light. A base trough allows for the use of ice to keep the reagents cool.
Modularity In the TriStar² any of reading technologies can be combined with each other and any of the options added.
