Photal FluoDia T70 fluorescence microplate reader

Photal FluoDia T70 high temperature fluorescence microplate reader
The T70 is now supported by Horiba. Horiba Software included for Windows XP

FluoDia T70 is a filter-based high temperature fluorescence microplate reader. It is an excellent platereader for people who want to measure fluorescence intensity.

The Heater plate adapters are not included, therefore is is listed as a room temperature Fluorescence Reader

Key Features:

FluoDia T70 is a filter-based, high temperature microplate reader for measuring fluorescence intensity of samples in 6 to 384-well microplates. The most outstanding features of FluoDia T70 are: reproducibility, sensitivity, temperature control, and dynamic range.

Highest Reproducibility: This is the ability to give repeatedly the same results, i.e. no inaccuracy due to equipment. The highest reproducibility of FluoDia T70 makes it possible to monitor minor changes in a signal that would otherwise be considered as the standard deviation of the machine.
Highest Sensitivity: FluoDia T70 is one of the most sensitive fluorescence plate readers on the market. It can read as low as 2.4 fmol/well of sodium fluorescein.
Temperature Control: The exclusive heating stage allows Fluodia T70 to control temperature up to 75� C with accuracy of �0.3�C and homogeneity of �0.3�C across the plate. This allows it to be used for a wide range of applications, such as Protein Thermal Shift Assay, RNA Invader� assay, ThermoFluor� binding assay, denature of a wide range of proteins, in vitro fibrillogenesis, et al.
Widest Dynamic Range: This defines the range of measurements over which the machine is capable of measuring. FluoDia T70 can detect signals within 7 orders of magnitude, which is the widest dynamic range of all plate readers on the market. This allows it to measure both very strong and very weak samples in the same plate.
