Plate Reader

What is it? The Perkin Elmer EnSight multimode plate reader is a benchtop platform that offers well-imaging with label and label-free detection for cell based and biochemical assays

Manufacturer: PerkinElmer

Model Name: EnSight

Use this instrument for….? Spectroscopic, fluorescent and phosphorescent detection for well imaging

Instrument Overview: Perkin Elmer EnSight multimode plate reader is used for cell based and biochemical binding assays. It has the ability to rapidly and accurately detect spectroscopic absorbance, fluoresces, time resolved fluorescence and phosphorescence. 

Benefits of this instrument:

• Rapid well-imaging for label-free, Alpha and conventional multimode detection
• Easily configurable
• Temperature control 
• Preinstalled filter based absorbance with ability to expand range of filters
• Automated wet preparation, washing and analysis of 96 and 384 wells for both cell and biochemical assays when used in conjunction with the JANUS robotic liquid handler and BioTek plate washer

Technical features and specifications:

• Well-imaging for label-free, Alpha and conventional multimode detection
• Temperature control to 65 °C
• Filter- and optional monochromator-based absorbance detection 
• Fluorescence well-imaging with single cell resolution for up to four colors (excitation of three colors in parallel) 
• Fluorescence well-imaging brightfield and digital phase-contrast imaging
• AlphaLISA / AlphaScreen detection with high power laser excitation
