Seven microplate detection modes working
for you
Safire2 and Infinite F500 microplate readers offer seven different detection modes, saving valuable time for high throughput applications in biotech, pharmaceutical, research and cosmetics
Both instruments provide very reliable performance with top quality results for fluorescence intensity top, fluorescence intensity bottom, absorbance, flash luminescence, glow luminescence, fluorescence polarisation, time resolved and homogenous time resolved fluorescence detection modes The Safire2 includes Tecan's exclusive quad4 monochromator technology, which blocks stray light and the resulting background noise by a factor of 106 times more than typical dual monochromator-based designs, providing improved sensitivity, accuracy, flexibility and speed

Reduce the complexity of the proteome
Liquid fractionation device allows the rapid separation of charged molecules and particles without the use of a conventional solid polyacrylamide matrix
The four monochromators eliminate the need for cumbersome filter changes while providing more accurate scans up to six times faster than standard, dual monochromator-based systems.
The filter-based Infinite F500 includes a new concept of programmable filter slides that store application-specific filter information on a microchip.
The versatile instrument is also incredibly fast and, with the 'on the fly' measurement mode, it can read a 1536-well plate in under 30 seconds.
These two modular and upgradeable systems can handle any microplate format, from 6 to 1536 wells, and are easily integrated into Tecan's Freedom Evo series of liquid handling workstations.
