Thermo Scientific Luminoskan Ascent

The Thermo Scientific Luminoskan Ascent is a high-performance microplate luminometer, designed for a wide range of luminometric research applications, including reporter gene assays, immunoassays, cell-based assays, enzyme studies, molecular interactions, nucleic acid quantification, and microbiological assays. Its compact design, coupled with exceptional optical performance, makes it an ideal choice for researchers requiring fast and accurate luminometric analysis.

Key Features:

Fast Reading Speed: The Luminoskan Ascent provides fast reading times, such as 15 seconds for a 96-well plate, essential for kinetic assays like enzyme kinetics and phagocytosis studies.
Onboard Dispensers: Equipped with up to three onboard dispensers, enabling fast kinetic assays, like ATP assays, with simultaneous dispensing and reading.
Top/Bottom Reading: Supports both top and bottom reading of plates for high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and low crosstalk.
Automation Integration: Can easily integrate with automated systems, enhancing assay throughput and enabling the reading of up to 384-well plates.

Applications:

Reporter gene assays
Immunoassays with luminescent substrates
Cytotoxicity and cell proliferation assays
Intracellular Ca²⁺ assays
ATP assays
Phagocytosis assays
Reactive oxygen species assays
Microbiological assays
Enzyme assays
BRET assays
ADMEtox studies

Benefits:

High Sensitivity: Ensures accurate and precise results with fiberless direct illumination optics for both top and bottom reading.
Cost Efficiency: Low dead volume and backflush capability help minimize reagent use, especially for expensive substances.
Versatile: Compatible with a variety of plate formats and fully customizable for different types of research.
