Reproducibility    This is the ability of the platereader to give repeatedly the same results, i.e. no inaccuracy due to equipment. This ultimately limits the measurement capability of an instrument. High reproducibility makes it possible to monitor minor changes in a signal that would otherwise be considered as the standard deviation of the machine. The FluoDia T70 has an excellent reproducibility and homogeneity partially due to its built-in ability for automatic sensing of the well center and the automatic calibration by use of a fluorescence calibration plate. It has very low background signals.   

Sensitivity    Sensitivity is the cornerstone of any good fluorescence instrument. It defines the equipments minimum detection capability. The FluoDia T70 is one of the most sensitive fluorescence plate readers on the market. It can read as low as 2.4 fmol/well of sodium fluorescein. Since fluorescence measurement is always related to low signal, sensitivity is always the number one priority for a customer, especially when they are screening a large number of samples for very few samples of actual interest. The sample that they are interested in may well be the one that is under the detection limit of a competitor instrument, but above the detection limit of our FluoDia T70.   

Temperature Control    The FluoDia T70 has the best temperature control capability of any platereader on the market. No other model of platereader can compare with it when temperature control is considered. The upper temperature limit is 75°C, the highest on the market.   

Dynamic Range    This defines the range of measurement over which the machine is capable of measuring. The FluoDia T70 has the widest dynamic range of all plate readers on the market. It can detect signals within 7 levels of magnitude. None of the other plate readers have a dynamic range that is this wide. The wide dynamic range is especially important for microplate readers since they are used to measure hundreds or even thousands of samples at the same time. The widest dynamic range of FluoDia T70 allows samples with dramatic signal differences to be measured in the same plate.
