GE Biacore S200

GE Biacore S200
This label-free system is used for molecular interaction analysis in basic research, drug discovery and development research. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument detects ligand binding to immobilized macromolecules. When a ligand binds to molecules immobilized on the sensor surface, the SPR sensorgram traces the association and dissociation of the complex, revealing the kinetics of the interaction and affinity values.

Molecular Devices FLIPR® Tetra 384- Well Intracellular Fluorescence Imaging System

Molecular Devices FLIPR® Penta 384- Well Intracellular Fluorescence Imaging System
The FLIPR® Penta high throughput cellular screening system is an industry-renowned, flexible, and reliable real-time kinetic cellular assay screening system for identifying early leads against GPCRs and ion channels. The system features simultaneous pipette and read capability, which makes the system ideal for fast kinetic cellular assays, such as calcium flux.

Molecular Devices SpectraMax M2e plate reader

Molecular Devices SpectraMax M2e plate reader
This monochromator-based plate reader is capable of a variety of read modes: Absorbance, Luminescence, Fluorescence Intensity and Time-Resolved Fluorescence. It features a flash lamp light source, fully-tunable for spectra capture and a cuvette port, with top or bottom read capabilities in 6- to 384- well plates.

Perkin Elmer Enspire

Perkin Elmer Enspire
This 384-well instrument incorporates two distinct reading modes: AlphaScreen is a chemiluminescent proximity binding assay in which donor and acceptor beads are brought together in close proximity by binding partners attached to the beads. Corning Epic optical wavelength shift technology can also be used to detect the shift in the wavelength of refracted light due to binding events in biochemical assays or dynamic mass redistribution in cell-based assays.
