Multimode Microplate Reader: Infinite® 200 PRO

The Infinite 200 PRO is a user-friendly and affordable multimode reader, designed to cater for the needs of today’s applications. Based on the highly successful Infinite 200 series of microplate reader, the Infinite 200 PRO can provide a full range of leading detection methods in one easy-to-use modular instrument, with either Quad4 monochromator™ or filter-based technologies. Users can select the desired modules to create the perfect reader for their needs, with the option to upgrade as requirements change. The Infinite 200 PRO offers excellent sensitivity, multiplexing capabilities and high format flexibility, including 6- to 384-well microplates, PCR plates, cuvettes and Tecan’s patented NanoQuant Plate™ for low sample volumes.

Benefits

• Multimode reader with on-board incubator
• Simultaneous, independent adjustment of CO2 and O2
• Consistent physiological conditions for predictable culture growth
• True walkaway operation, reducing labor time and improving productivity
• No gaps in data during overnight or long running experiments
• Acoustic and visible warnings avoiding incorrect gas concentrations
• Altitude correction guarantees precise and stable regulation of gas concentration inside the reader chamber
• Fully upgradeable for all Infinite 200 PRO readers

Quad4 Monochromators
The Infinite M200 PRO provides exceptional sensitivity, and allows the user to select any wavelength from UV to NIR, and to perform absorbance, excitation and emission scans. Users can access all wavelengths, and change from top to bottom reading, for easy measurement of multiplexed assays at the touch of a mouse click – no manual hardware changes are required.

Infinite F200 PRO – Filter
The Infinite F200 PRO uses a patented intelligent filter slide system, with integrated lifetime monitoring of the filters, and its fluorescence polarization module is perfectly equipped for binding studies in homogenous mix and read assays. A dichroic filter allows TR-FRET applications, and the filter modules offer  cost-efficient solution for routine applications at fixed wavelengths.

Unlimited flexibility for a wide range of biological assays and measurements including:

• DNA/RNA quantification
• protein quantification
• ion channel studies
• ion flux studies
• calcium ion detection
• reporter gene and gene expression assays
• cell viability and toxicity assays
• cell-based assays
• binding studies
• enzyme assays
• ELISA
• immunoassays
• fluorescence and luminescence applications
• TR-FRET/HTRF applications

Gas Control Module (GCM™)
This innovative option provides rigorous environmental control within the detection chamber, making the Infinite 200 PRO ideal for cell-based applications. An integrated gas inlet allows external control of CO2 and O2 simultaneously helping to maintain stable culture conditions and improve cell growth. It also allows assays to be performed under anaerobic or physiological conditions, extending the experimental window while ensuring consistent and biologically relevant data. The GCM together with its unique altitude correction and the integrated quality control of acoustic and visible warnings leads to more consistent and reliable data and makes it indispensable for cell-based applications.

Optimized cell-based applications
The Infinite 200 PRO offers enhanced fluorescence intensity reading for cell-based and biochemical applications, with a range of features designed to improve sensitivity and inter-/intra-well reproducibility. Functions such as orbital shaking, temperature control and enhanced fluorescence bottom reading with the optimal reading (OR) function ensure excellent performance and reliability of your assays.
