Run demanding research assays with the utmost flexibility using the Thermo Scientific™ Varioskan™ Flash Multimode Reader. This versatile instrument can be used across a wide variety of applications. It offers unlimited wavelength selection, up to three onboard dispensers and excellent optical performance. The Varioskan Flash Multimode Reader has passed the DLReady™ validation at Promega Corporation™ and is certified as DLReady. Additionally, the reader has been granted the LanthaScreen™ Certified designation by Invitrogen™, and is validated for Thermo Scientific Pierce™ Luciferase Assays.

Varioskan Flash spectral scanning multimode reader includes fluorescence intensity, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), photometric, and optional luminometric detection technologies. It is designed for optimization and analysis of various assays, such as binding assays, ADMETox, molecular biology assays, enzyme kinetic studies, ion-channel and cell signalling assays.

Features:
  • Unlimited wavelength selection for spectral analysis and measurement at any single wavelength
  • Easy measurement setup with automated internal functions ensuring maximal sensitivity and full dynamic
  • Onboard dispensers for exact follow-up of kinetic reactions
  • Increased assay throughput—reads up to 1536-well plates and can easily be integrated with automated systems
  • High performance incubator for temperature critical assays
  • Easy assay setup, flexible data handling and convenient report formatting with Thermo Scientific™ SkanIt™ Software

Compatible with:

The Varioskan Flash is compatible with the new Thermo Scientific™ μDrop plate.
