Short Description: Tecan Spark is a modern, multifunctional microplate reader designed for absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements. It can be used for both biochemical and cell-based experiments, as it supports temperature control, automated focusing, and other advanced features.
Produser: Tecan
Equipment Information:
Functions:
- Performs absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements.
- Enables real-time analysis of cellular and biochemical samples.
- Features automatic optical focusing and light intensity optimization.
- Supports both kinetic and end-point measurements.
Capabilities:
- Compatible with a wide range of 6–384 well microplates.
- Can measure enzymatic reactions, cell growth, and other biological processes.
- Includes automated software for protocol creation, data acquisition, and analysis.
- High-precision optical system ensures sensitivity even to weak signals.
Purpose:
- Designed to automate and improve accuracy in biochemical and cell-based research.
- Suitable for routine experiments and advanced scientific research in academic and industrial laboratories.
- Applicable in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and molecular biology studies.
Applications:
- ELISA and other immunoassays.
- Cell viability, proliferation, and metabolism studies.
- Pharmacological compound screening and characterization.
- Kinetic analysis of enzymatic reactions.
- Quantitative analysis of nucleic acids, proteins, and other biomolecules.
Operating principle:
- The instrument emits light in different modes (absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence) and detects the signal from each microplate well. The detected signal is directly proportional to the analyte concentration or activity.
- The collected data are processed by dedicated software, which automatically performs calculations, generates curves, and produces analytical reports.
