Thank you for selecting the Bio-Tek FL600. The FL600 is a powerful

fluorescence and absorbance measurement system which measures

through the use of a photomultiplier tube housed inside of a light-

impermeable detection compartment. The FL600 is capable of quantifying

both soluble and cell-associated fluorescence. The system consists of:

• The Bio-Tek FL600 Fluorescence Plate Reader

• KC4™ reader control and data reduction software

• FL600 System Software for diagnostics

• Accessories Kit

• Serial Communications Cable (P/N 75034)

Both software packages are for Windows-based PCs and provides the user

with full command of the operation of the X-Y scanner. FL600’s precision

X-Y mechanism scans a microplate with a sensitive optical detection

system to quantify the fluorescence or absorbance in each well.
