TECAN Spark Multimode Microplate Reader

Product Information

The TECAN Spark Multimode Microplate Reader offers unparalleled solutions for virtually any life science research and drug discovery application. It allows researchers to freely configure the reader to their current needs and is fully upgradable to access other techniques and features in the future. The dedicated High Speed Monochromator offers unparalleled wavelength accuracy for absorbance measurements. The unique Fusion Optics for fluorescence provides exceptional sensitivity over the complete spectral range, and the combination of optical modules with very flexible detection modes allows for experiments with high repeatability. The readings are noteworthy for multi-color luminescence, including flash, glow, BRET, and laser-based Alpha Technology. The instrument's bright field cell imaging capabilities, together with its incubator-like environmental control, enable long-term cell-based experiments and live monitoring of cell growth. The revolutionary Te-Cool™ module ensures complete independence, allowing accurate and reliable results regardless of the time of day or season. The TECAN Spark Multimode Microplate Reader is made for discovery today and tomorrow. The typical applications include ELISA, low-volume DNA/RNA quantification, nucleic acid labeling efficiency, protein quantification, reportergene assays, HTRF®, Transcreener®, DLR®, BRET including NanoBRET®, cell counting, viability, confluence assessments, and cell migration and wound healing. It offers detection modes such as Absorbance, UV/Vis spectra, Fluorescence (top & bottom) including spectra, Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), FRET, TR-FRET, Fluorescence Polarization (FP), luminescence including glow, flash, multicolor, spectra, and AlphaScreen®, AlphaLISA® & AlphaPlex® technologies. The product comes with additional features such as an absorbance cuvette port, NanoQuant Plate, temperature control from RT+3 °C to 42 °C, liquid dispensers with reagent heater and stirrer, CO2 & O2 control, evaporation protection, Te-Cool™ for active temperature regulation, integrated lid handling, and QC tools for IQOQ service.
