  • Page 13: Introduction

    A model with an external laser provides enhanced time-resolved fluorescence capabilities for TRF, LANCE and HTRF. EnVision is a very compact, small footprint bench top unit with features such as shaking, reading from above or below and scanning. Also available are a dispenser with up to two pumps and temperature control of the instrument chamber.

  • Page 14: Conventions Used

    Figure 1. Wallac EnVision with a stacker Figure 2. Wallac EnVision without a stacker Wallac EnVision is designed to be customizable to suit your specific application needs without you having to invest in features you do not want. If in the future you wish to add new features, this is also possible.

  • Page 17: Functional Description

    When you need to measure either the level of expression or the functional effect of a drug candidate in terms of transcriptional activity of cells, EnVision provides the features you need for reliable detection of reporter gene expression. The instrument has comprehensive and versatile scanning and kinetics capabilities.

  • Page 18: Cellular Assays

    Functional description Cellular assays Reading from below, scanning and kinetics are some of the features that make Wallac EnVision the ideal tool for cellular assays such as cAMP, + or any ADME/tox assays. The temperature control option further enhances these possibilities.

  • Page 19: Technologies

    Functional description Technologies The instrument uses the following measurement technologies if the appropriate options are installed: Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) (240-850 nm) • Multiple time window TRF • Simultaneous dual emission measurements above or below • Sequential dual emission measurements above or below •...

  • Page 21: Temperature Control

    Functional description Note! The optional dispenser unit is bolted on to the side of main instrument and connections made through an opening in the instrument case Temperature control The temperature control option consists of heating elements. These are located above and below the measurement position. Plate types All types of microtitration plate may be measured.

  • Page 22: Optical System

    Different kinds of robots can be used as the main system in an automated HTS laboratory. When used with a robot, EnVision is usually linked through COM interfaces. These provide the basis for seamless integration and instrument control. The robot and the counter work as a unit.

  • Page 23: Luminescence Mode

    Functional description Note! With AlphaScreen a special dichroic mirror module is used to direct the excitation laser light into the sample well. The emission path and detection is similar to that for fluorescence intensity. Luminescence mode When a luminescence sample is measured, no excitation components are used.

  • Page 24: Ultra Sensitive Luminescence Mode

    Functional description Ultra Sensitive luminescence mode Figure 7. Ultra Sensitive luminescence measurement Ultra Sensitive luminescence uses a very high sensitivity luminescence PMT as the detector. It has extremely low background, high dynamic range and spectral response from 300 nm up to 650 nm. The detector has no optical components and the emission light is collected directly from the well.

  • Page 27: Tr-Fluorescence Mode

    Functional description TR-fluorescence mode In time-resolved fluorescence measurements the sample are excited by the flash lamp and the generated fluorescence is read by the photomultiplier tube in single photon counting mode. The basic measurement needs only one flash, but more flashes (i.e. 100) ensure higher accuracy. The integrated photon counts from the photomultiplier and the integrated analog signal from the reference photodiode are always read after every flash.
  • Page 28 Functional description Figure 15. Excitation from below/Reading from below Figure 16. Excitation from below/Dual reading from below Figure 17. Excitation from below/Reading from above...
  • Page 29 Functional description Figure 18. Excitation from below/Dual reading from above Note! A dual mirror is needed whenever the second detector is used even if the reading is done from opposite sides of the plate. The mirror in the light path to the second detector is the one that must be dual as noted in the figures.

    Functional description Figure 23. Excitation from below/Reading from above and reading from below (second detector). Bottom mirror must be dual Figure 24. Excitation from below/Reading from above (second detector) and reading from below. Top mirror must be dual Fluorescence polarization mode The excitation light is produced in the same light source as for FI and TRF measurements.
  • Page 32 In EnVision, a background correction can be done before calculating the final results. It is done by subtracting measured S and P results obtained from a buffer sample from the actual measured S and P results respectively.

  • Page 33: Absorbance Mode

    Functional description Figure 26. Excitation from above/Dual reading from above (using the S and P polarizors) Absorbance mode For absorbance measurements the same excitation light source is used as for FI, TRF and FP measurements. The wavelength of the light is selected by an optical filter placed in the excitation filter slide and it can be in the range 230-950 nm.
  • Page 34 Functional description Figure 27. Light directed through the sample from below and detected above with a photo-diode Using the quad monochromator option, light passing into the sample comes from the “excitation” double monochromator. For users who do not wish to perform fluorescence intensity measurements, the single monochromator option may be chosen rather than the quad monochromator.

  • Page 35: Alphascreen / Hts Alphascreen Mode

    Functional description AlphaScreen / HTS AlphaScreen mode Unlike the other modes, AlphaScreen uses a laser to excite the sample. A special dichroic mirror module is used to direct the excitation laser light into the sample well. In the case of standard AlphaScreen a light guide is used to direct the light to this mirror module.

  • Page 36: Trf Laser Mode

    Figure 30. Laser excitation from above to adjacent well/reading from above. Both excitation and emission occur from the top of the sample. Bottom reading is not possible with AlphaScreen in EnVision. Only one measurement per well is recommended because the sample is partially bleached by the excitation light.

  • Page 37: Light Sources

    337 nm may be used. This is fixed to the back of EnVision and the light is directed to the well by means of a light fiber and the bias mirror module.

  • Page 38: Focus Point Adjustment

    Functional description All interference filters are pre-installed into the barcoded filter block which is easily installed onto a ladder-type filter slide. The structure of the block ensures that any polarizing filters used are aligned in the right direction. Focus point adjustment The focus point is adjustable.

  • Page 39: Apertures

    Functional description Measurements can also be made from below if the appropriate modules are included. In Ultra Sensitive Luminescence and HTS AlphaScreen the detector is a very high sensitivity PMT. Apertures In Ultra Sensitive luminescence and HTS AlphaScreen measurement, an aperture is used to guide light from the sample into the detector.

  • Page 40: Dual Ratio Measurements

    Dual ratio measurements Certain labels require dual excitation or emission readings. In Wallac EnVision protocols you can define many different labels. The instrument will carry out the measurement quickly without any worries about any internal calibrations of serial PMTs.

  • Page 41: Crosstalk Correction For Alphascreen Or Hts Alphascreen

    This can be done with EnVision by specifying the shape of the scan area and the number of points to be scanned. The scanning function is also suitable for the reading of small membranes, chips and slides.
  • Page 42 Functional description Simultaneous dual dispensing can be done when immediate measurement is not required. In cases where maximizing the signal intensity is important, dispensing can be done with a tip which is not between the well and the measuring head. The unit contains two pumps, one of which can be used in real-time kinetics measurements.

  • Page 43: Barcodes

    Functional description Dispense – only dispensing takes place but no measurement. In this case parallel dispensing is used when there is a dual tip mount. There is a waste container in the instrument. This is used when operations such as rinse occur. A separate aspiration tip connected to a waste pump is used to empty this waste container when necessary.
