| Luminescence scanning |
 |
Luciferase reporter mechanisms are commonplace across a broad range of disciplines with recombinant luciferases increasingly being used due to their dynamic measurement windows. This new luminescence scan mode can record the emission spectra of stable luminescent signals at
1 nm resolution using the instrument's emission monochromators. |

| NanoQuant Plate for DNA quantification in 2 μl drops |
 |
The Infinite M1000 PRO plate reader is now compatible with Tecan's patent pending NanoQuant Plate. This innovative quartz-based tool that can measure up to 16 samples simultaneously, from just 2 μl sample volumes, allowing DNA/RNA quantification and labeling efficiency measurements for FISH- and microarray-based experiments. |

| z-Optimization for low sample volumes |
 |
Automated adjustment of z-focus is available in fluorescence intensity top and fluorescence polarization modes, significantly improving the quality of measurements. This feature makes it easy to optimize the instrument setup for varying assay parameters, such as low sample volumes or different well shapes. A new functionality helps for optimization of signal-to-blank ratios. |

| Double orbital shaking for improved mixing |
 |
In addition to linear shaking and orbital shaking, the Infinite M1000 PRO is able to perform double orbital shaking, moving the plate transporter in a figure of-eight motion. Double orbital shaking is regarded as more efficient than either linear or orbital shaking for mixing reagents and biomolecules, and keeping cells in suspension. |

| Optimal Read (OR) function |
 |
The Infinite M1000 PRO's Optimal Read function offers enhanced performance and reliability for cell-based applications in 12- to 96-well plate formats. Available in FI bottom-reading mode, this feature performs multiple measurements on spatially separated spots arrayed across each well area, achieving maximum illumination and sensitivity. |
