Modular Detection Platform is User-configurable

Beckman Coulter will introduce the PARADIGM Detection Platform, a unique, modular system that allows quick and easy configuration by the user, at LabAutomation2007. The platform features a selection of cartridges that can be interchanged in less than five minutes to meet different assay needs, making this the first user-upgradable and -configurable multimode reader. It is ideal for labs with multiple users and applications. The high-throughput detector reads on the fly, in formats from 6 to 1,536 wells. Eight different cartridges will be available, based on detection modes including fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, dual-label fluorescence (including FRET) and luminescence.
