The optimal filter based microplate reader for biopharmaceutical, life science and research laboratories

The fast and sensitive Infinite F500 filter-based microplate reader is ideal for a broad range of applications, in particular ratiometric assays and other technologies routinely used within assay development, screening and ADMET laboratories, research institutes and the Life Sciences industry. It is capable of reading 6 to 1536-well microplates, including standard and low-volume plates.

The Infinite F500 microplate reader supports many different applications and assay technologies, such as:

• TR-FRET-based assays: e.g. HTRF® (Cisbio bioassays, France), LanthaScreen® (Invitrogen).
• FRET-based assays: e.g. Z`-LYTE® (Invitrogen) to study cellular protein kinases, GeneBLAzer® (Invitrogen) Reporter Gene assays.
• Glow luminescence: cell-based & reporter gene assays
• Flash luminescence: e.g. dual color luminescence assays, flash luminescence for Ca2+ detection by photoproteins
• Fluorescence polarization: e.g. Predictor™ hERG Fluorescence Polarization Assay (Invitrogen), PolarScreen™ Glucocorticoid Receptor Competitor Assay Kit, Red (Invitrogen), PolarScreen™ Glucocorticoid Receptor Competitor Assay Kit, Green (Invitrogen), Transcreener® ADP Assay (BellBrook Labs)
• Ion channel: calcium studies using certain ion sensitive dyes
  
  

The Infinite F500 has been validated by Invitrogen for the following Invitrogen assays:

• LanthaScreen®
• Adapta® Universal Kinase Assay
• Omnia®
• Z’-LYTE®
• GeneBLAzer®
• PolarScreen™
• Predictor™ hERG Fluorescence Polarization Assay

If you are interested in more details on the applications for the Infinite F500 microplate reader, please take a look at the related literature.
