Complete Product Description

The Tecan GENios Microplate Reader is equally useful for many different assay types across a wide range of applications such as expression and transfection studies (GFP- and luciferase-based), binding studies, kinetic enzyme investigations, toxicology, environmental monitoring, fluorescence-and absorbance-based ELISA

The Tecan GENios Microplate Reader is the multi-detection system that can be used in conjunction with all of the following:

• microplate formats (from 6 to 384 wells)
• PCR tubes
• cuvettes

For cell-based assays, the Tecan GENios Microplate Reader can detect multiple labels per well and switches easily from top to bottom readings with just a single mouse click. This allows scientists and technicians to choose the most appropriate parameters for quantifying nucleic acids and proteins as well as for any ELISAs or general molecular biology assays, using predefined protocols in Magellan software.

With all these highly versatile features, the Tecan GENios Microplate Reader is indispensable for all life science laboratories in both industry and academia. Its wide range of applications makes it suitable for many areas of R&D and testing including genetics, proteomics, biotechnology and for diagnostic laboratories active in nucleic acid testing. The Tecan GENios offers the major advantage of simplifying a number of laboratory procedures as this one instrument can now replace several existing testing systems.

Dual optical channels allow measurements from above or below the plate by mouse-click. Light to and from the samples is focused by a lens and high quality excitation and emission filters are easily accessible from the front of the instrument. Each filter slide can hold up to four filters with maximum eight filters onboard for fluorescence and maximum five filters for absorbance.

Why the Tecan GENios Microplate Reader?

The Tecan GENios is the ideal solution for molecular biology laboratories involved in DNA and RNA quantification, or checking labelling accuracy. Tecan?s new, versatile GENios offers maximum flexibility and performance, for the same price as a simple, single-mode instrument.

• Fluorescence
• Time Resolved Fluorescence
• Absorbance reading mode (UV and VIS range -WOW !)
• Glow luminescence reading mode
• Software selectable top or bottom fluorescence intensity reading
• Supports 6- to 384-well plates
• Temperature control and microplate-shaking included

DNA quantification, fluorescence-/luminescence based ELISA (Enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay) and cell-based assays are of growing importance in many laboratories. To achieve accurate results, numerous methods and detection techniques are now used. The new Tecan GENios is a highly competitive instrument that is equally suited to a number of different detection techniques, allowing you to select the most appropriate technique for your needs.
