Spectral Scanning Multimode Reader
Varioskan™ Flash (Thermo Scientific)
The Varioskan Flash is an advanced spectral scanning multimode reader. It is used to measure fluorescence intensity (FI), time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), absorbance and luminescence in end point, kinetic and spectral measurements in the UV/Vis/NIR range from appropriate microplate formats. In fluorometric and luminometric measurements 6 to 1536-well plates can be used, and correspondingly 6 to 384-well plates in photometric measurements. Incubation can be carried out in a controlled incubation temperature. The instrument also allows shaking and reagent dispensing. The instrument is run on Thermo Scientific SkanIt Software 2.4.3 (or greater) for Varioskan Flash, which controls all the instrument functions and provides data processing as well as reporting functions.
