Tecan Spark (brand name or equal) with Fusion Options Technology Custom Configured Multimodal Microtiter Plate Reader

Fusion optics technology is a multimodal microtiter plate reader incorporating dual monochromators and filters for both excitation and emission which allows independent selection between filters and monochromators for both excitation and emission This unique feature enables high sensitivity fluorescence-based detection modes - including standard top and bottom measurements, TRF, FRET, TR-FRET and FP, all of which is used in Early Translation Branch (ETB) laboratory which typically involve the use of different instruments, here combined in a single instrument. The instrument software provides NCATS the ability to select monochromator wavelengths on demand, providing significant latitude in the fluorophores data. This will provide flexibility for the Scientist to select and choose monochromator wavelengths in assay designs. In addition, the instrument provides luminescence-based detection, another highly used detection modality.
