The BMRL utilizes two multi-well plate reading systems for carrying out a variety of spectrophotometric assays based on fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance measurements. The first system is a TECAN Safire2 (left picture) which is a modular microplate detection system based on a quad-4 monochromator technology that offers a range of high speed detection techniques. The Safire2 is mounted on the deck of our Tecan EVO liquid handling robot to enable automated plate measurements.

Nicolet NXR 9650 FT-Raman Spectrometer Thermo Scientifics’ Nicolet NXR 9650 FT-Raman spectrometer is capable of producing high-quality Raman measurements using high-speed scanning, sample mapping, screening applications, and kinetic analysis. The Nicolet NXR 9650 FT-Raman can measure organic and inorganic samples using a spectral range down to 100cm-1 which is advantageous for inorganic samples where bands are typically observed at low frequencies. Measurements of samples can be taken directly through clear glass bottles, jars, vials and tubes.
