Plate Readers

Accessory for Fluorescence Spectrometers

The microplate reader accessories for the FLS1000 and FS5 spectrometers can measure fluorescence spectra and/or lifetimes from hundreds of samples in a single acquisition: perfect for high-throughput screening while maintaining photon-counting sensitivity.

Plate Readers

Accessory for Fluorescence Spectrometers

  • High throughput: Fast, automated measurements of microplates with photon-counting sensitivity
  • Plug & Play: Easily exchanged with other sample holders in the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer or FS5 Spectrofluorometer
  • Fluorescence Spectra: Acquire spectra with high resolution enabled by the FLS1000 or FS5 monochromators
  • Time-resolved Photoluminescence: Photon-counting fluorescence (sub-ns) and phosphorescence lifetimes
  • Up to 384 Wells: Users can customise plate layouts with up to 384 wells
  • Software Control: Controlled from the Fluoracle® instrument software, no additional packages needed

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Edit Content

A fluorescence microplate reader accessory can be added to an Edinburgh Instruments Photoluminescence spectrometer for automated high-throughput measurements of spectra, phosphorescence lifetimes and fluorescence lifetimes with photon-counting sensitivity. 

Two options are offered: the PR2 Plate Reader accessory for the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer and the SC-41 Plate Reader Module for the FS5 Spectrofluorometer. Both plate readers can utilise the spectrometer’s multiple sources and detectors, as well as its monochromator to fine-tune the wavelength and bandwidth. 

If the instrument is configured for time-resolved photoluminescence, these measurements are automatically enabled in the plate reader. This, together with world-leading photon counting electronics, makes the PR2 and SC-41 stand out from traditional microplate readers in terms of flexibility and performance.

PRODUCT DETAILS

SOFTWARE

The plate readers are connected to the spectrometer excitation and emission light paths via fibres. Fluoracle software allows the user to choose the source/detector and the type of measurement; spectral or time-resolved. 

The user can create and store custom microplate designs in the software. Up to 384 wells can be acquired in one automated measurement. 

MEASUREMENT EXAMPLES

PR2 Plate Reader
SC-41 Plate Reader Module
PR2 Plate Reader

The PR2 is the fluorescence microplate reader option for the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer. It connects to the spectrometer sample chamber via fibres.​

This is the plate reader of choice for demanding applications, benefiting from the FLS1000 premium sensitivity and stray light rejection.

SC-41 Plate Reader Module

The SC-41 is a compact fluorescence microplate reader module for the FS5 Spectrofluorometer.​

Swapping between the SC-41 and other sample modules only takes a few seconds, making it ideal for busy labs where saving time and optimising space is crucial.
