AutoLumat – Automatic Tube Luminometer

The AutoLumat from Berthold Technologies is an unique instrument for the measurement of all current bio- and chemiluminescence applications. The applications include Reporter Gene assays, ATP monitoring, luminescent immunoassays, enzyme measurements or cellular luminescence. You can measure up to 180 samples placed in a chain once or sequentially many times over a long period.

Peltier cooled detector
For detection we use an ultra fast single photon counter with an extremely large dynamic range. Peltier cooling of the detection unit ensures extremely low background noise resulting in unsurpassed sensitivity (1 amol ATP/tube).

Variable volume injectors
Liquid handling can be done easily using variable volume injectors. The instrument can be equipped with up to 3 injectors providing optimum reliability and simplicity. Based on the proprietary JET injection technology the injectors combine high speed and reliable mixing of reagents with outstanding precision.

Temperature control
To establish ideal conditions for all cell based applications the measuring chamber can be temperature controlled making the AutoLumat the instrument of choice for cellular luminescence assays.

Software
We developed the built-in software to provide easy, intuitive operation of the instrument´s powerful features. You can choose from a variety of basic measurement protocols:

• Raw data protocol
• Dual label protocol (incl. Dual reporter gene assays)
• Kinetic measurements
• Cut-off protocol
• Immunoassay protocol (LIA, ILMA) incl. evaluation

For users preferring operation via PC the Tubemaster software can be used for instrument operation, protocol management, data evaluation and data transfer to Excel®.
