4.5 AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA
System
For uncompromised performance, the
INFINITE M1000 PRO
uses a dedicated
luminescence detection module (chapter 4.4 Luminescence System) for
AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA measurements.
In addition to the Luminescence System, the
INFINITE M1000 PRO
uses a high-
power laser as the excitation light source for AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA and a
contactless temperature sensor to measure the temperature inside each well.
4.5.1 AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA
Optics
The Z-position of the luminescence fiber bundle can be adjusted. As light is
refracted onto the sample liquid surface, a Z-adjustment helps to maximize signal
to noise and minimize crosstalk. The software does the adjustment automatically,
once the user has selected the corresponding plate type in the software dialog
box.
Laser
The
INFINITE M1000 PRO
uses a high power laser (680 nm / 750 mW) as the
excitation light source.
The
INFINITE M1000 PRO
is a LASER CLASS 1 product. The
INFINITE M1000
PRO
complies with FDA radiation performance standards, 21 CFR 1040.10,
except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
WARNING
