The Thermo Scientific Varioskan (Figure 1-2) is an advanced spectral
scanning multimode reader. The Varioskan is used to measure fluorescence
intensity, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), and absorbance in end point,
kinetic and spectral measurements in the UV/Vis/NIR range from
appropriate microplate formats. In fluorometric measurements appropriate
6 to 1536-well plates can be used, and correspondingly appropriate 6 to
384-well plates in photometric measurements. Incubation can be carried
out in a controlled incubation temperature. The instrument also allows
shaking and reagent dispensing. The instrument is run with SkanIt Software,
which controls all the instrument functions and provides data processing
as well as reporting functions.
