MicroBeta2 microplate counters

MicroBeta2 microplate counters

MicroBeta2 microplate counters

Product catalog summary
Specifications Overview
MicroBeta2 microplate counters are designed to measure radioactivity and luminescence. They are available in configurations with 1, 2, 6, or 12 detectors and support various plate formats, including 96-well and 384-well plates. The instruments can integrate with robotic systems and accommodate different sample types such as microtiter plates, vials, and tubes.

Hardware Features
The counters feature multiple detectors and support various counting modes, including single- and dual-label CPM and DPM, as well as luminescence counting. A unique detector design with two photomultiplier tubes enhances counting efficiency. The system includes a robust sample-changing mechanism and a standard barcode reader for protocol recognition.

Computer Specifications
The system is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor with 4 GB RAM and supports dual display outputs. It operates on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and includes a 320 GB hard drive.

Manager Software
The software allows for the addition of new isotopes, custom plate settings, and programming of repeat cycles. It supports enhanced security features for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.

Data Collection and Analysis
The system provides live display of instrument status and supports various counting commands. It offers up to 100 normalizations and quench corrections, with password protection for protocols. Analysis features include background subtraction, half-life correction, and customizable data output options.

Available Configurations
MicroBeta2 models vary by the number of detectors and plate capacity, with optional robotic loading systems available.

Performance Data
For liquid scintillation counting, the system achieves high counting efficiency, while luminescence counting offers low background and high maximum count rates.

Physical and Electrical Specifications
The dimensions and weight of the MicroBeta2 vary by model. It operates on a range of voltages and frequencies, with a maximum power consumption of 360 VA.

Safety and Compliance
The MicroBeta2 meets various safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, including IEC, CSA, and UL certifications, and conforms to EU directives for CE marking.

MicroBeta2 microplate counters-1

Description MicroBeta2® microplate counters measure radioactivity, as well as luminescence. These instruments are available in 1-, 2-, 6-, and 12-detector configurations with 16-shelf loading capacity. A robotic loading option allows efficient integration into robotics systems. Each instrument model also supports different plate matrices and is capable of running samples in either “96‑well + 384-well plate” format or in “96-well + 24-well plate” format. The samples can be contained on microtiter plates, 4-mL vials, Eppendorf® tubes, or on filtermats. Standard features for MicroBeta2 plate counters Hardware MicroBeta2 • 1, 2, 6, or 12 detectors • 1- and 2-detector systems run 24- and 96-well plates, 6- and 12-detector systems run 96- and 384-well plates, 6-detector systems can be configured to count 24- and 96-well plates (optional) • Sample types for radioactivity: • Liquid scintillation counting in microtiter plates • Filterplates, e.g. UniFilter® Plates • Filtermats • FlashPlates® • Solid scintillator, e.g. MeltiLex® •

MicroBeta2 microplate counters-2

• Sample types for luminescence: • Microtiter plates, e.g. OptiPlate™ or CulturPlate™ • Counting modes include single- and dual-label CPM, single- and dual-label DPM, ParaLux™ count mode, and luminescence counting. • Proprietary Time-Resolved Liquid Scintillation Counting (TR-LSC) mode significantly improves counting capabilities with opaque plates and low-energy isotopes. TR-LSC mode can generate close to dual-PMT coincidence counting performance by using top PMTs only. • Unique detector design consists of two photomultiplier tubes (PMT). One is located below the sample, the other above the...

MicroBeta2 microplate counters-3

• Up to 100 quench corrections can be performed and linked into 100 counting protocols. Quench corrections will also include detector efficiency corrections, background corrections, and crosstalk corrections. • Password protection for counting, normalization, and quench correction protocols are included. Analysis • Three counting windows allow the analysis of the signal in three independent counting regions. • Background subtraction enables fixed samples or values obtained from detector normalization to be used for calculations. • Half-life correction is a correction facility for CPM and DPM...
