Gemini™ XPS and EM Microplate Readers
Fluorescence detection without filters
Multi-wavelength measurement without filters
The Gemini™ XPS and EM Microplate Readers with dual monochromators provide a flexible environment to determine the optimal excitation and emission settings for fluorescence intensity assays. Multiple-point well scanning optimizes cell-based assay sensitivity. Comparison of relative fluorescence units (RFUs) between samples is allowed by a unique calibration against an internal standard. Temperature-sensitive reactions are monitored with consistent temperature regulation from ambient to 45°C.
-
Eliminate changing out filters
Eliminate the need for identifying, purchasing, and changing out filters. Dual monochromators provide excitation and emission wavelength selection between 250-850 nm.
-
Measure more accurately
Well scanning reports fluorescent measurements from a single point in the center of a microplate well to multiple points across a tissue culture well.
-
Avoid losing high signals
Avoid losing high signals to detector saturation and find the correct reader settings with our patented Auto PMT Optimization System.
