For High Resolution cell imaging. In fluorescence microscopy, wide variations between localized fluorophore concentrations within the specimen, coupled to differences in extinction coefficient and quantum yield from one fluorochrome to another, significantly influence the emission signal produced for a given quantity of excitation intensity. Considering that many specimens contain only minute quantities of fluorescent material in any particular viewfield, these combined factors produce an average level of fluorescence emission that is four to six orders of magnitude less than the excitation intensity.
The modular Prominence HPLC Series generates highly reproducible chromatography while maintaining the flexibility for which Shimadzu HPLC instrumentation is known. The Prominence HPLC can perform many analytical tasks with one piece of high-performance equipment - QA/QC work, Mass Spec front end, multi-dimensional chromatography.
Multiple wave length plate reader. Varioskan Flash spectral scanning multimode reader includes fluorescence intensity, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), photometric, and optional luminometric detection technologies. It is designed for optimization and analysis of various assays, such as binding assays, ADMETox, molecular biology assays, enzyme kinetic studies, ion-channel and cell signalling assays.
