Tecan Spark 10M

The Tecan Spark multimode plate reader measures absorbance, Fluorescence, FP (Fluorescence polarization), TRF (Time-resolved fluorescence) and Luminescence.
You can perform a full absorbance spectrum scan (200-1000nm) in less than 5 sec. Fluorescence Fusion Optics that combines true monochromator flexibility with filter sensitivity for a single fluorescence measurement. Freely set a wavelength via monochromator or a filter on both the excitation and emission side. 
Spark 10M offers CO2 and temperature control for live cell assay, providing cell conditions with all standard microplates. Integrated automated lid handling that balances gas exchange and evaporation protection for live cell kinetic assays and even allows for automated reagent injection during the experiment.
