Sirius 2 LB 9526 is a compact and highly sensitive tube luminometer. Light collection is maximized through both the close proximity of the sample to the detector and the use of optimized light reflectors surrounding the sample vial. The luminometer is upgradeable with up to two injectors, making it perfect for flash assays, and can be equipped with an intuitive touch screen computer, enabling stand-alone operation. The Sirius 2 supports all basic luminescence technologies including flash-type Luminescence, glow-type Luminescence, bioluminescence and chemiluminescence.
High performance luminescence detection
The Sirius 2 detects less than 0.5 zmol of firefly luciferase (1 amol ATP/tube). Light collection is maximized through the close proximity of the sample to the detector and the use of optimized light reflectors surrounding the sample vial. The detector is operated in photon counting mode, which ensures a very low background signal for excellent signal to noise ratio and the highest linearity.
Outstanding flexibility
The sample chamber is designed for performance and flexibility: Just pick the sample format that fits your application best. The optional sample holders enable accurate injection into both, microcentrifuge tubes and standard luminescence tubes.
The system is compatible with a variety of sample formats:
Standard 12 mm luminescence tubes (55 and 75 mm)
Microcentrifuge tubes (1.5 and 2 mL)
