Flexible detection for the molecular
biology lab
This competitively priced detection device offers absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence detection in a single instrument
Genios offers customers a competitively priced system with the advantage of three-in-one detection in one instrument (absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence) Recognising the unprecedented number of reaction vessel formats used by researchers, Genios has been designed to handle different microplate formats (6 to 384 wells), PCR tubes, and cuvettes making it the ideal solution for many standard molecular biology procedures

Reader serves multiple functions
Can be equipped with flash luminescence, glow luminescence, fluorescence intensity, absorbance, time resolved fluorescence, and fluorescence polarisation capabilities
As such, the device is suitable for many applications ranging from gene expression and transfection studies, binding assays, Elisa (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) and enzyme kinetic measurements up to cell growth and proliferation studies, cytotoxicity and apoptotic (cell death) assays.
Added to these distinctive advantages is top-to-bottom reading capability with a single mouse click, which is particularly useful for measuring samples with high turbidity.
For cell-based assays, Genios can also detect multiple labels per well.
If required, Genios can be easily integrated with the Tecan Genesis robotic sample processor to give laboratories flexible detection options in their automated systems.
Molecular biology laboratories, research institutes, reference laboratories, diagnostic laboratories and hospitals all stand to benefit from this competitively priced detection device.
