SAFAS Xenius XL

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SAFAS Xenius XL is a state-of-the-art microplate luminometer known for its exceptional sensitivity and dynamic range. It features an ultra-high-speed photon counting photomultiplier capable of single photon counting and speeds up to 70 Mcps. The device operates using 100% air technology, eliminating the need for fiber optics, and can be equipped with up to 15 injectors.
Specifications and Features
The Xenius XL offers a spectral range of 200 to 650nm for direct bioluminescence and up to 1000nm for bioluminescence spectra. It boasts low cross-talking levels (approximately 10-5 on 96 well microplates) and can inject two different reagents during measurements. The device supports bioluminescence spectra on individual wells and cuvettes, with a scan speed of up to 7000nm/minute.
Innovative Technology
SAFAS has a history of innovation, having introduced the first spectrofluorometer with dual grating monochromators in 1959. The Xenius XL continues this legacy with its advanced capabilities and evolutive design, allowing for the addition of monochromators for absorbance and fluorescence, as well as other accessories like polarizers and fiber optics.
Software and Upgradability
The Xenius XL is supported by powerful software developed by SAFAS, offering free updates for the instrument's lifetime. This ensures long-term investment value and prevents obsolescence. The software includes modules for multiwavelength analysis, intracellular ions, and 3D spectra.
Optional Features
The device can be customized with temperature-controlled holders, multiple wavelength capabilities, and automatic polarizers for fluorescence anisotropy. It can also perform absorbance spectra and integrate specialized software for enhanced functionality.
Conclusion
The SAFAS Xenius XL is a versatile and highly sensitive luminometer, ideal for advanced scientific applications. Its evolutive design and robust software support make it a future-proof investment for laboratories requiring precise and reliable luminescence measurements.

SAFAS Xenius XL-1

TECHNOLOGICAL LEADER IN SPECTROSCOPY SINCE 1952 ...YOUR ANALYSIS DESERVE OUR PERFORMANCES Luminometer for microplates SAFAS Xenius XL: outstanding sensitivity and dynamic range, unique evolutivity SAFAS Xenius XL is a microplate reader in luminescence, with outstanding sensitivity, with a ultra-high speed photon counting photomultiplier (up to 70 Mcps), and single photon counting capability. Measurements are directly achieved without fiber optics (100% air technology), with up to 15 injectors. A spectrum of bioluminescence can even be drawn up to 1000nm (option). It is evolutive and can receive later a monochromator for Absorbance, a second monochromator for Fluorescence, a cuvette holder for 10 cuvettes, polarizers, etc... An evolutive LUMINOMETER with outstanding performances SAFAS Xenius XL is a microplate luminometer with exceptional performances and evolutivity. Based on innovative technologies and superb optics, it is fitted with a 100% AIR technology (no fiber optics) and a high sensitivity photon counting photomultiplier, able to count from single photon up to 70 Mcps. It features a very low cross-talking (typically 10-5 on 96 wells microplates), and is able to inject 2 different reagents in measurement position. The luminometer Xenius XL can also achieve bioluminescence spectra on each individual well, with automatic data processing, as well as in cuvettes (option). With a scan speed up to 7000nm/minute, it is also fitted with many automatic data processing functions (depending on options). In 1959, SAFAS introduced the world’s 1st spectrofluorometer fitted with 2 grating monochromators: it was a major breakthrough in spectroscopy. Today, the Xenius is a new breakthrough, bringing to science as much as had been bringing the Spectralux in 1959. Many options are available Xenius XL can be fitted with temperature controlled holders, make fast or long kinetics, work up to 10 different wavelengths of bioluminescence, inject during analysis (up to 15 injectors, and up to 75 injection areas), or be fitted with automatic polarizers for fluorescence anisotropy. It can achieve Absorbance spectra, and several specialized software can be added. An evolutivity unique on the market
