MicroBeta² Microplate Counters for Radiometric and Luminescence Detection with 1-detector

Providing coincidence counting, a unique patented configuration with two photomultiplier tubes that simultaneously detect signal, the MicroBeta² system ensures high efficiency and extremely low background for a variety of radionuclides. Also, it features time-resolved liquid scintillation counting (TR-LSC), delivering improved counting performance for opaque plates where traditional coincidence counting isn't possible.

More assays, from one powerful system

• Advanced Detection – Enables detection of beta and gamma isotopes, as well as glow luminescence
• Filtration-based Receptor Binding Assays – Deliver utmost sensitivity using either UniFilter plates or MicroBeta filtermats
• Solid-phase Homogeneous Assays – Best-in-class performance in all solid scintillation assays, including beadbased scintillation proximity assays
• Cell Proliferation – Analyze cell proliferation through filter-based 3H-labeled thymidine uptake
• Cell Cytotoxicity – 51Cr release assays for cell cytotoxicity using LumaPlate technology or liquid scintillation counting (LSC)
• Reporter Gene Assays – Glow capabilities for dual reporter gene assays using luciferase and beta lactamase
• Metabolic Studies – HPLC fraction measurements using LumaPlate technology or traditional cocktail-based approaches in 4-mL tubes
• Liquid Scintillation Counting – Scaled down traditional vial-based liquid scintillation counting assays to microplates
• Wipe Test – No need to reserve a second counter for monitoring contamination in your laboratory
• More Options – Luminometric ELISAs, kinase assays, radioimmunoassays (RIAs), and many others
