Thermo Scientific Varioskan Flash Spectral scanning multimodereader

The Thermo Scientific Varioskan Flash spectral scanning multimodereader combines fluorescence intensity,
time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), photometric, and optional luminometric detection technologies.
It provides unlimited wavelength selection, and thereby allows both spectral analysis and measurement at any single wavelength.
This gives ultimate flexibility for identifying the optimal measurement wavelength for any assay, now and in the future.
