Company profile

Berthold Technologies is considered a worldwideleader in luminescence measuring technology andhas provided thousands of luminometers for rese-arch and diagnostics. The Centro XS3 luminometer for academic andpharmaceutical research has been developed withan optimized optics for even higher demands onsensitivity. The CentroLIApc is an ideal instrumentfor diagnostic applications and clinical use, whilethe new CentroPRO is an attractive alternative forresearch.

In recent years we have expanded the develop-ment of microplate instruments which support newmodern measuring methods. Our multimode readerMithras demonstrates exceptional performance inBRET technology, which is mainly used in researchof G-protein coupled receptors.HTRF® certified, the Mithras can be used for thescreening and investigation of biological interac-tions such as kinases or second messengers.

In gene expression studies, reporter genes havebecome an invaluable tool. Using our extremelysensitive imaging instruments the NightOWL, andthe new NightSHADE, the gene expression can beexamined in living organisms.

Microplate Readers

TriStar² LB 942Multimode Microplate Reader

With TriStar² the multi-technology micro-

plate reader platform has developed into

its second generation setting new stand-

ards in modularity, performance and user-

friendliness.

Offering the reading technologies

▪ Absorbance

▪ Fluorescence

▪ FRET

▪ Luminescence

▪ BRET

TriStar² is a perfect fit for life sciences re-

search covering all important assays cur-

rently conducted in academic research.

The optical system ONE-4-ALL with a new

revolutionary design is the first time a sin-

gle optical system has been employed in a

multi-technology reader that matches the

performance of individual dedicated optical

devices.

Space for reagent vials is placed at the

front of the instrument providing easy ac-

cess and visibility. A removable trough can

be filled with ice to keep the reagents at

lower temperatures. A special reagent

holder keeps small tubes filled with valu-

able reagents safely in place and enables

using up the volume to the last droplet.

The unit is operated via the proven and in-

tuitive ICE software. Single and multiple

endpoint readings are possible as well as

kinetic and scanning measurements.

The data are displayed in numerical and

graphical formats and may be exported

into EXCEL or printed.

Thus, TriStar² microplate reader offers a

multitude of possibilities and a wide range

of applications. Measurements of enzyme

activities, phagocytosis, Calcium flux, cell

viability, apoptosis, immuno assays, pro-

tein and DNA concentrations and protein-

protein interactions are only a few of the

many uses of TriStar².

MikroWin 2000The sophisticated software for microplate readersoffers extensive possibilities for instrument operation and data evaluation (kinetics, curve fit,ratio etc.).The wells for measurementand injection can be selectedindependently.

Various operations can be picked and placed in anyorder to accommodate for all different require-ments of the assays to be performed.Kinetic data reduction and graphical display of therespective curves help the user to judge the results.User access and audit trail systems in the Advancedversions are the basis for MikroWin 2000´s 21 CFRpart 11 compliancy.

WinTermWinTerm is a computer–based communication software for a variety of Berthold Technologiesinstruments enabling data download and conversioninto spreadsheet formats.

TubemasterFor the AutoLumat Plus LB953 Tubemaster is a sophisti-cated though easy-to-usesoftware for instrument ope-ration and data evaluationwith GLP documentationfunctions.

LBISBerthold Technologies ́ proven immunoassay dataevaluation software can be used with the Multi CrystalGamma Counter LB2111 and theAutoLumat Plus LB953 including thecontrol of respectiveinstruments.

IndiGOTM

This highly integrated image analysis softwareoffers full functionality for instrument control,image capture and subsequent image analysis forall NightSHADE and NightOWL II systems.In the comfortable andtime-saving analysis partcontrast, transparency andsignal threshold can be easyset with sliders. Afterwardsall settings from one imagecan be applied to all imagesof a whole measurement series. Maintaining originalimages the software can be used in GLP regulatedenvironments.

RadioStarThe dedicated radio chro-matography software meetsall needs for flow monitorcontrol and sophisticatedanalysis of chromatogramsincluding full DPM calculationand contains extensivereport generation functions.

ICE SoftwareInstrument Control and EvaluationThe extremely intuitive software for use with theCentroLIApc, CentroPRO andLumat3 has been designedwith the demands of today’sresearchers as well as theroutine clinical laboratory inmind. Three software versions areavaible:

ICE Research supports ratio calculation for dual reporter gene and ADP/ATP assays as well as kinetics for enzyme activities

ICE Immunoassay includes multiple curve fitting algorithms (spline, linear regression, point-to-point) and options (master and reference curves)

ICE Advanced combines all functions of ICE Researchand ICE Immunoassay versions.

The ease of use during protocol creation, measure-ment and data export has been achieved with awizard-driven and clearly structured software.

Company profile

Berthold Technologies is considered a worldwideleader in luminescence measuring technology andhas provided thousands of luminometers for rese-arch and diagnostics. The Centro XS3 luminometer for academic andpharmaceutical research has been developed withan optimized optics for even higher demands onsensitivity. The CentroLIApc is an ideal instrumentfor diagnostic applications and clinical use, whilethe new CentroPRO is an attractive alternative forresearch.

In recent years we have expanded the develop-ment of microplate instruments which support newmodern measuring methods. Our multimode readerMithras demonstrates exceptional performance inBRET technology, which is mainly used in researchof G-protein coupled receptors.HTRF® certified, the Mithras can be used for thescreening and investigation of biological interac-tions such as kinases or second messengers.

In gene expression studies, reporter genes havebecome an invaluable tool. Using our extremelysensitive imaging instruments the NightOWL, andthe new NightSHADE, the gene expression can beexamined in living organisms.
