The CentroXS meets all currently known requirements for a versatile and robust microplate luminometer. The selected detector and the propietary design of the optical system guarantee lowest background and negligible crosstalk. CentroXS has an optimized optics for even highest demands on sensitivity.

Plate formats

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


Reagent dispensing

3 independently controlled injectors with variable volume give entire freedom in the selection of assay type and assay sequence.
The volume is adjustable from 10 to 100 µl – perfectly fitting the demands for reagent addition into 96 well plates.
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.

Shaking

3 modes each with variable speed of the integrated shaker to enhance mixing and optimise sample distribution before measurement in long term kinetics.

Small footprint

The ergonomic design of the CentroXS requires minimal bench space. All the important features are built in making maximum use of available bench space. The reagent injectors are housed within the small footprint, providing the advantage of short tubing and thus a low dead volume.

Robotic integration

Specially designed for, but not restricted to, use in HTS departments of drug discovery companies, the CentroXS robot access module allows for easy integration of unit into any type of lab automation system. Software and hardware easily integrate into existing robotic or liquid handling systems. A barcode reader is available on request for positive plate identification.
