Microplate Readers
There are application notes available for the following instruments:
Apollo absorbance reader
Some of the most popular methods for protein quantification are BCA, Coomassie Plus (Bradford), and Lowry, and they are most often measured using a microplate absorbance reader. In this application note, we confirm that the Apollo offers good performance in all 3 methods. Furthermore, it is easy to program and performing the assays is simple and straightforward.
Centro Microplate Luminometer
Dual-Luciferase Reporter® (DLR™) Assay
The Dual-Luciferase Reporter® (DLR™) Assay System from Promega is a popular commercial assay using firefly luciferase and renilla luciferase as reporters and has excellent performance on the Centro Luminometer.
Detecting Mycoplasma Contamination
The MycoAlert® and MycoAlert® PLUS Mycoplasma Detection Kits by Lonza, in combination with the Centro Microplate Luminometer, provide a fast, convenient, and reliable way to detect mycoplasma contamination.
Tristar 3 Multimode Reader
DNA quantification using Quant-iT™ Picogreen® dsDNA
The combination of the Quant-iT™ Picogreen® dsDNA assay and the Tristar microplate readers offers a fast, simple and accurate way to quantify DNA in your samples.
Study Protein-Protein interactions with NanoBRET™
This publication confirms the suitability of the Tristar microplate readers to measure the NanoBRET™ assay, which is an improvement of the BRET technology resulting in increased signal and lower background.
Dual-Luciferase Reporter® (DLR™) Assay with Tristar
The Dual-Luciferase Reporter® (DLR™) Assay System from Promega is a popular commercial assay using firefly luciferase and renilla luciferase as reporters. Promega’s DLR assay had been validated on the Tristar 3 multimode microplate reader.
Tristar 5 Multimode Reader
DNA quantification using Quant-iT™ Picogreen dsDNA
The combination of the Quant-iT™ Picogreen dsDNA assay and the Tristar microplate readers offers a fast, simple and accurate way to quantify DNA in your samples.
