LB 960 Centro/Centro XS3 Microplate Luminometers for highest sensitivity

The Centro and Centro XS3 meet all currently known requirements for versatile, robust and sensitive microplate luminometers.

Plate formats
Any opaque microplate in either 96 or 384 well format can be measured. There is no need for any mechanical adjustment, just select the plate type in the operating software.

Detector
The selected detector and the proprietary design of the optical system guaranty highest efficiency, lowest background and negligible crosstalk. Centro XS3 has an optimized optics for even higher demands on sensitivity.

Reagent dispensing
3 independently controlled injectors with variable volume give entire freedom in the selection of assay type and assay sequence. Dispensing can even be performed during a kinetic measurement, e.g. to watch the effects of added agonists / antagonists. JET injection technology stands for precision and accuracy – better than 99 % and 98 % respectively – and the only reliable way of properly mixing the added reagents.

Temperature control
The Centro can be equipped with plate heating for applications where the assay must be measured at elevated and constant temperature such as cell based assays.

Fulfilling and even exceeding the requirements to qualify as DLReadyTM, the Centro XS3 is the ideal instrument for luciferase reporter gene assays especially Promega´s Dual-Luciferase® reporter gene assay system.

The Centro´s robot access module allows uncomplicated integration of the unit into any type of lab automation system.
