The Chameleon V - the most sensitive microplate luminometer on the market

16/07/2012

Researchers using luminescence for their research applications will find all their needs met by the most sensitive microplate luminometer on the market - the Chameleon V from LabLogic Systems. Its super sensitive luminescence detection function provides fast and robust data, making the Chameleon V an ideal choice.

A reputable Scottish university expanding their luminescence work has chosen the Chameleon V over much larger and more expensive equivalents for their dual-luciferase reporter assays. Initially with a large budget, they looked at a much higher-priced plate reader, which supposedly offered the greatest sensitivity. However when it came down to a demonstration comparing the two, it could not keep up, with the Chameleon V detecting luminescence down to < 1 amol ATP/well in a white 96-well plate. Truly outstanding and at less than a third of the price, it was effectively a relatively easy purchasing decision.

Combined with its numerous additional capabilities including absorbance, fluorescence and liquid scintillation counting, the Chameleon has also shown to be useful with multiplexing – detecting a number of markers in the same sample. This technique has proven valuable in the work of a European university investigating the immune defence mechanisms of micro-organisms. They have used the Chameleon V to detect ATP on luminescence mode, and GFP on fluorescence intensity mode, creating successful readings from the same samples.

The Chameleon V can read Microtiter plates from 6 to 384 wells, and there are also options for well scanning and multiplexing. All models are supplied with MikroWin Lite 2000 instrument control software and a built-in linear shaker.
