The filter wheel of the photometer can be populated freely with a choice of filter mod-
ules. In addition, filter modules can be retrofitted at any time, extending the application
spectrum of the device. The product portfolio from Analytik Jena comprises a total of 12
different filter modules (6 color modules for the most frequently used fluorescent dyes,
from the blue to the red excitation range; 5 filter modules specially optimized for FRET
applications and 1 protein module for melting curve analysis). A retrofitting or replace-
ment of the installed modules may be carried out by the Analytik Jena Service team at
any time.
ATTENTION
If you intend to extend the application spectrum of the device with regard to using filter
modules, always contact the service department because extensions – to be performed
by the operator himself – are
not
intended by the manufacturer.
