Tecan launches AlphaScreen(R) option for Infinite(R) F200 PRO reader

Offering excellent sensitivity for screening and research, the new option further extends the flexibility of the Infinite F200 PRO for low and medium throughput applications.

The AlphaScreen module combines the Infinite F200 PRO’s established fluorescence top optics with a bespoke filter set designed to use the instrument’s standard flashlamp. This set-up ensures optimal assay performance without the need for a specialized reader, complementing the system’s absorbance, fluorescence intensity, luminescence, fluorescence polarization and time-­resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurement modes.
