pump device comprising a motor, valve and syringe
part of the dispenser unit
radioluminescence luminescence excited by radioactivity
second light source the external TRF-laser used with EnVision for
TRF measurements
semitransparent mirror beamsplitter that permeates/reflects half of the
light hitting it
Note! This beamsplitter is independent of the
wavelength of light
shutter metal piece used to protect the Ultra Sensitive
luminescence detector when it is not being
used. It is inserted and removed manually
stacker device to enable automatic transfer of sample
plates to/from the instrument
temperature control heating elements positioned above and below
the measuring position to maintain the
temperature of assay plates with samples
requiring above ambient temperature
tip mount comprises one or two tips and their mounting.
Part of the dispenser
there are three tip positions any two of which
can be used
top measuring head measuring head positioned above the x-y
conveyor
top measuring head body body section of the top measuring head on
which most modules and units are mounted
Note! the top measuring head body embodies
e.g. the motors and belts of the filter slides,
lens assemblies, etc.
TRF laser option a nitrogen laser emitting pulsed light of 337
nm which is connected to the back of
EnVision and used for time-resolved
fluorescence measurements. This is referred to
as the second light source in the EnVision
software. It requires the Bias mirror module to
be used
