The DTX Series Multimode Detectors:

The DTX Series Multimode Detectors provide unmatched value and flexibility for a variety of application and automation needs. Capable of performing fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance measurements on the same instrument, the DTX Series can operate as standalone instruments or can be integrated seamlessly with Beckman Coulters Biomek® liquid handlers. The DTX Series is ideal for a broad range of systems biology applications including drug discovery, genomics, proteomics and cell-based research. The unique optics design (patents pending) ensures precise performance and sensitivity across all detection modes. The instruments facilitate easy integration with automated liquid handling systems via a choice of plate loading options including an extra-wide plate access door, and accepting plates in portrait or landscape formats. In addition, the detectors intuitive software platform provides instrument control and easy protocol development, as well as compatibility with Beckman Coulters Biomek software program.
