CLARIOstar Plus
High performance Microplate Reader with Enhanced Dynamic Range
The CLARIOstar Plus is a multi-mode microplate reader with advanced LVF Monochromators™, highly sensitive filters, and an ultra-fast UV/vis spectrometer. The Enhanced Dynamic Range and automatic focus technologies make manual settings superfluous and detection optimization easier than ever. CLARIOstar is a high-performance microplate reader that fits the current and future needs of your laboratory, whether in academia, a core facility, biotech or pharma.
Technical Specification
Detection modes | UV/vis absorbance spectra Fluorescence intensity (incl. FRET) Luminescence (flash and glow) – incl. BRET Fluorescence polarization Time-resolved fluorescence TR-FRET AlphaScreen®/AlphaLISA®/AlphaPlexTM |
Measurement modes | Top and bottom reading Endpoint and kinetic Sequential multi-excitation Sequential multi-emission Spectral scanning (fluorescence, luminescence, absorbance) Ratiometric measurements Well scanning |
Microplate formats | 6- to 1536-well plates, user-definable LVis Plate with 16 low volume microspots (2 μL) |
Detector | Low-noise photomultiplier tube Red-sensitive photomultiplier tube CCD spectrometer |
Wavelength selection | Dual Linear Variable Filter (LVF) Monochromators™ Linear Variable Dichroic Mirror: separates excitation and emission LVF Monochromators Optical fi lters: excitation and emission slides hold up to 4 filters each LVF Monochromators + optical filters: use one for excitation and the other for emission UV/vis absorbance spectrometer: full spectra or 8 discrete wavelengths in < 1 sec/well |
Spectral range | Filters FI, FP, TRF: 240 – 740 nm or 240 – 900 nm (red-shifted PMT) LUM: 240 – 740 nm LVF Monochromators™ FI: 320 – 740 nm or 320 – 840 nm (red-shifted PMT) LUM: 320 – 740 nm Linear Variable Dichroic 340 – 740 nm or 340 – 760 nm (red-shifted PMT) Spectrometer ABS: 220 – 1000 nm |
Read times | Flying mode (1 fl ash) 8 s (96), 15 s (384), 28 s (1536) 10 fl ashes 19 s (96), 57 s (384), 3 min 4 s (1536) |
Shaking | Linear, orbital, and double-orbital with user-definable time and speed |
Incubation | +3°C above ambient up to 45°C or 65°C The upper heating plate of the incubation chamber operates at 0.5 °C more than the lower plate. This prevents condensation build-up on the lid or sealer |
