Thermo Scientific Fluoroskan Ascent FL

The Thermo Scientific Fluoroskan Ascent FL is a microplate fluorometer and luminometer for both luminometric and fluorometric research applications, such as protein and enzyme studies, molecular interactions, nucleic acid quantification, reporter gene, fluorometric kinase, and immuno and cell based assays. The Fluoroskan Ascent FL is a compact and robust instrument with excellent optical performance for a variety of fluorometric and luminometric research applications, offering versatile plate formats, fast reading speeds, up to three dispensers and top/bottom reading of plates.

Fast reading speed The fast reading time, just 15 seconds for a 96-well plate, is essential for kinetic applications, such as enzyme kinetics and phagocytosis assays. Even the combination of a fluorometric GFP measurement and a luminometric luciferase measurement from the same well is fast due to the versatility of assay programming in the same protocol. Onboard dispensers for exact follow-up of kinetic reactions Equipped with up to three onboard reagent dispensers, the Fluoroskan Ascent FL enables fast kinetic assays, such as Ca2+ flux and ATP assays. The instrument supports simultaneous dispensing and reading, enabling monitoring of fast

kinetic measurements from the very start of the reaction. A very low dead volume and the backflush capability of the dispensers are important issues when using expensive reagents. High sensitivity for both top and bottom reading Fiberless direct illumination optics for both top and bottom reading ensures a high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, low crosstalk and accurate and precise results in both luminometric and fluorometric assays. Specially designed for automation To increase assay throughput, the Fluoroskan Ascent FL can read up to 384-well plates and easily be integrated with automated systems.

Fluoroskan Ascent FL Applications: Ca2+ flux assays Cell proliferation Cytotoxicity Cell adhesion DNA quantitation Reporter gene assays Hybridization assays Quantitation of PCR products FRET assays BRET assays Molecular beacon assays Immunoassays Enzyme activity Bacterial quantitation Phagocytosis Oligonucleotide assays

A compact and robust microplate reader with excellent optical performance for a variety of fluorometric and luminometric research applications.
