Plate Luminometer / Luminescence Reader

A plate luminometer / luminescence reader measures light emitted in a microtiter plate. These readers can be found in a variety of labs and are effective tools for laboratory techniques including DNA/RNA and protein quantification, cell counting, viability assessment, high-throughput screening, cell-based assays, and more. The basic luminescence reader consists of a reading chamber, a detector, and an interface for selecting assays and customizing settings, but models can vary widely on additional features and configurations. Some considerations for purchasing a plate luminometer / luminescence reader include the number of wavelengths or wavelength range, the detector quality, the number of plates that can be loaded, if it has multimode capabilities, ease-of-use for the software and interface, and customizability of the instrument.
