Multimode microtitre plate reader

The Triad LT from Dynex is a compact microfunctional microplate detector providing three detection technologies in one instrument.

The system incorporates fluorescence intensity technology for nucleic acid and protein quantitation and assays in immunology and enzymic testing; glow type luminescence technology for ATP detection, LIA and Reporter assays; and absorbance visible technology for ELISA, Bradford and enzyme kinetics.

The system can handle 96- and 384-well plates over a wavelength range from 340-650 nm. It is easy to use and features intuitive software.

The detection systems feature a single photon counting system for fluorescence and luminescence, which ensures a wide dynamic range for detection of samples that differ in light output.

A maintenance-free high-power LED light source provides high sensitivity and flexibility to cover the method-specific wavelength ranges. The highly focused light beam gives high sensitivity for a broad range of applications.

Two fluorescence intensity filter pairs (Coumarin and Fluorescein) and four absorbance filters (405, 450, 492 and 620 nm) as standard filter configuration cover most of the common microplate fluorescence and absorbance applications.

Both the hardware and software are designed for user-friendly, high-volume testing and for seamless integration into robotic systems. Plates can be loaded in both directions (portrait/landscape) and dispensed inside the plate carrier. The software enables clear navigation of the instrument’s detection modes, data exports and labware library.
