Luminometer for microplates SAFAS Xenius XL: outstanding sensitivity and dynamic range for bioluminescence measurements, and unique scalability... a breakthrough in luminescence measurements!
SAFAS Xenius XL is a microplate reader for luminescence measurements, featuring the highest sensitivity and dynamic range on the market, and which is the only luminometer on the market which is able to be validated on certified and connected standards: a real breakthrough for laboratories involved in Quality Management! It features outstanding sensitivity, and including a very ultra-high speed photon counting photomultiplier (up to 140 Mcps) with single photon counting capability, and very low cross-talking (around 10-6). Measurements of bioluminescence are directly achieved by this luminometer without fiber optics (100% air technology), for maximum energy throughput. It can be fitted with up to 15 injectors, auto-priming and auto-washing, with 2 stainless steel/teflon needles in measurement position. A spectrum of bioluminescence can even be drawn by this luminometer up to 1000nm (option). The Xenius XL luminometer is scalable and for example, can be fitted furtherly with a monochromator for Absorbance, a second monochromator for Fluorescence, a cuvette holder for 10 cuvettes, polarizers, etc...
SAFAS Xenius XL is a microplate luminometer with exceptional performances and scalability. Based on innovative technologies and superb optics, it is fitted with a 100% AIR technology (no fiber optics) and includes a very high sensitivity photon counting photomultiplier, able to count from single photon discrimination up to 140 Mcps. Thus luminescence measurements have the highest sensitivity and dynamic range on the market, and additionally a superb technology enables to validate bioluminescence on certified and connected standards, which is unique in the world, to the best of our knowledge!
It features a very low cross-talking (typically 10-6 on 96 wells microplates), and is able to inject 2 different reagents in measurement position, with auto-washing and auto-priming of the automatic injectors thanks to a stainless steel/ceramic 6-way valve .
The luminometer Xenius XL can also achieve bioluminescence spectra on each individual well, with automatic data processing, as well as in cuvettes (option). With a scan speed up to 12000nm/minute, it is also fitted with many automatic data processing functions (depending on options).
In 1959, SAFAS introduced the world’s 1st spectrofluorometer fitted with 2 grating monochromators: it was a major breakthrough in spectroscopy. Today, the Xenius is a new breakthrough, bringing to science as much as had been bringing the Spectralux in 1959.
Xenius XL can be fitted with temperature controlled holders, make fast or long kinetics, work up to 10 different wavelengths of bioluminescence, inject during analysis (up to 15 injectors, and up to 75 injection areas), or be fitted with automatic polarizers for fluorescence anisotropy. It can achieve Absorbance spectra, and several specialized software can be added.
The microplate luminometer SAFAS Xenius XL is evolutive, and can receive one or two monochromators for Absorbance and fluorescence, fiber optics for in situ measurements, polarizers, etc... All the options can be mounted simultaneously and don’t require any desmantling.
Last but not least, the software are intensively developed by SAFAS since 1988, when SAFAS introduced the world’s first PC controlled spectrophotometer, button free.
Since then, all our customers have profited by our policy of free software update for instrument’s life, making their investment a very long term one and avoiding obsolescence of their equipment.
Among many possibilities, our multiwavelength module for series of samples, our intracellular ions module, and our 3D spectra module are among the most impressive.
