Perkin Elmer Victor 3V Multilabel HTS Counter Multitask Plate Reader 1420-040

***This instrument was tested as far as we could. We don't have the software to fully test this unit. Victor 3V has slight wear from normal use.  See photos for details.

*Includes: USB to ARCNET Adapter

VICTOR3 is a multilabel, multitask plate reader for all light-emitting and light-absorbing detection technologies including fluorescence (top and bottom), luminescence, absorbance, UV absorbance, time-resolved fluorometry, and fluorescence polarization. You chose the detection technologies you need and upgrade as your needs change. Select from a basic fluorescence and luminescence model, to the fully loaded VICTOR3 V. Add other options at any time. A small bench top unit, VICTOR3 can operate as a stand-alone instrument or can integrate into a robotic system.

Counting Modes

Fluorescence (340 – 850 nm)
• Dual ratio measurements
• Top and bottom fluorescence

 Luminescence
• Glow luminescence
• Flash luminescence
• Dual luminescence

Photometry (340 – 800 nm)
UV Photometry (260 nm/280 nm)
Time-resolved Fluorometry (TRF)
• Dual window TRF
• Dual emission measurements

Fluorescence Polarization (400 – 850 nm)

VICTOR3 counting modes are always accessible. In the same protocol, even for the same well, you can freely use several different counting modes.

Features Included

1. Kinetics

VICTOR3 handles both fast and slow time kinetic measurements. The specific delays and repeats can be defined by plate, row or well. Built-in temperature control, dispenser and shaker are important for many kinetics applications.

• The same plate can be measured automatically up to 99 times in succession. Maximum delay between measurements can be set to 3600 seconds.
• Specific operation sequences can be defined by well or by row. The same well can be read up to 100 times.

2. Scanning

Cell applications benefit from reading several points in one well. In VICTOR3 the number of readings (max 100 points) and the distance between the spots can be defined within the same well and distributed in a squared or rounded area. The scanning function is also suitable for
reading small membranes, chips and slides. The minimum stepping is 0.1 mm.

3. Dual ratio measurements

In VICTOR3 you can define two excitation/emission filters for one label and measure without the need for any internal calibrations of serial PMT. With a dispenser, it is the perfect system for Ca2+ modulations and other similar studies.

4. Top and bottom reading

Fluorescence readings can be taken from the bottom or top. Top reading is the most efficient counting method when no lid is used because no plastic surface has to be penetrated. Adherent cells and lids require bottom reading for highest counting efficiency. The software (NOT included) enables both top and bottom reading to be used in the same run.

5. Dual window TRF

The dual window TRF option enables recording of two separate windows in one flash cycle. It is important to follow a change in the emission profile of a lanthanide chelate in energy transfer applications especially when the actual energy transfer might be affected.

Applications

The wide range of counting modes together with necessary options opens up a huge range of application possibilities:

• Cell-based: cytotoxicity, cell viability, cell quantification, cell proliferation, cell adhesion, NK cell activity, oxidative burst, calcium uptake, reporter gene, phagocytosis
• Binding studies: immunoassays, receptor assays
• Environmental toxins
• Food monitoring
• Kinetics: enzyme activity, Ca2+ measurements and other ion measurements
• Molecular Biology: hybridization, DNA quantification, gene expression, PCR product quantification
• Quantifications: Protein, ssDNA, dsDNA, cells, bacteria, cytokines
• Toxicology
• Drug screening
