Peltier cooling for environmental stability
The Peltier Cooling Module promotes rapid interior cool down after incubated processes, allowing efficient switching between multiple applications without unwanted temperature changes. For sensitive assays run at room temperature, the Cooling Module maintains environmental stability within Cytation at < 1 °C change.
Learn MoreHybrid plate reader: Flexibility and performance
With its patented combination of monochromator and filter optics, Cytation 5 is an advanced plate reader that delivers both the flexibility and performance you need for any microplate assay in your lab. Monochromator: variable bandwidth, absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence Filters: fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, Alpha laser.
Learn MoreTime-resolved fluorescence
Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) measurement is very similar to fluorescence intensity (FI) measurement. The only difference is the timing of the excitation / measurement process.
Learn MoreTR-FRET
Time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) works on the principles that when suitable pairs of fluorophores are in close proximity of one another, excitation of a lanthanide donor fluorophore results in energy transfer to an acceptor fluorophore.
