Thermo Scientific Luminoskan Ascent

The Thermo Scientific Luminoskan
Ascent is a microplate luminometer for
luminometric research applications,
such as reporter gene, immuno and
cell based assays, enzyme studies,
molecular interactions, nucleic acid
quantification and microbiological
assays.
The Luminoskan Ascent is a compact
and robust instrument with excellent
optical performance for a variety of
luminometric research applications,
offering versatile plate formats, fast
reading speeds, up to three dispensers,
and top/bottom reading of plates.

Fast reading speed
The fast reading time, just 15
seconds for a 96-well plate, is
essential for kinetic applications,
such as enzyme kinetics and
phagocytosis assays.
Onboard dispensers for exact follow-up
of kinetic reactions
The Luminoskan Ascent equipped
with up to three onboard reagent
dispensers enables fast kinetic
assays, such as ATP assays. The
instrument supports simultaneous
dispensing and reading, enabling
monitoring of fast kinetic
measurements from the very start
of the reaction. A very low dead
volume and the backflush capability
are important issues when using
expensive reagents.

High sensitivity for both top and bottom
reading
Fiberless direct illumination optics
for both top and bottom reading
ensures high sensitivity, a wide
dynamic range, low crosstalk and
accurate and precise results in all
luminometric assays.
Specially designed for automation
To increase assay throughput, the
Luminoskan Ascent can read up
to 384-well plates and easily be
integrated with automated systems.
Ordering information and technical
specification, see page 13.
