2.1.2 Multifunctionality
Depending on the type of wavelengths selection, the infinite
®
200 is available in
two different versions:
• infinite
®
M200 (monochromator-based instrument)
• infinite
®
F200 (filter-based instrument)
The following measurement techniques are supported by the infinite
®
M200:
• Fluorescence Intensity (FI) Top
• Fluorescence Intensity (FI) Bottom
• Fluorescence Time Resolved (TRF)
• Flash Fluorescence
• Absorbance
• Absorbance with injectors
• Absorbance with cuvette
• Glow Type Chemi- or Bioluminescence
• Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET
TM
)
• Flash Luminescence
The fully equipped infinite
®
F200 provides the following measurement techniques:
• Fluorescence Intensity (FI) Top
• Fluorescence Intensity (FI) Bottom
• Fluorescence Time Resolved (TRF)
• Flash Fluorescence
• Fluorescence Polarization (FP)
• Absorbance
• Absorbance with injectors
• Glow Type Chemi- or Bioluminescence
• Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET
TM
)
• Flash Luminescence
Any common microplate ranging from 6 to 384 well formats conforming to the
ANSI/SBS standards (ANSI/SBS 1-2004; ANSI/SBS 2-2004, ANSI/SBS 3-2004
and ANSI/SBS 4-2004) may be measured with any of the above measurement
techniques. Switching between measurement techniques or plate formats is fully
automated via software. It is not necessary to manually reconfigure the optics in
order to switch between the reading modes supported by the
infinite
®
200.
Both instrument versions, the filter-based (
infinite
®
F200) and the
monochromator-based (
infinite
®
M200), may be equipped with up to two
injectors.
