Perkin Elmer EnVision

Now you don’t have to choose between the sensitivity of a filter-based system and the flexibility of a monochromator. PerkinElmer brings you both in a single system. With the EnVision® Multilabel Plate Reader platform, you have the power to shift effortlessly between detection technologies and applications, driving better hit-to-lead ratios.         

The 2104 EnVision Multilabel Plate Readers are fast, sensitive and versatile benchtop readers that deliver optimized performance in every application and for every label. Their unique design features modular label-specific optical mirror modules, high energy flash lamps, and high speed detectors. The EnVision is available in two models: the affordable, single detector EnVision Xcite Multilabel Plate Reader or the faster, dual-detector EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader:    

• EnVision: Delivers speed and flexibility, without sacrificing the sensitivity so crucial to your research.    
• Faster readout for high throughput    
• Automatic assay initiation and plate identification    

• EnVision Xcite: Designed to expand with your increasing throughput and applications needs. Delivers outstanding functionality, including:    
• Same sensitivity as EnVision for lower throughput applications    
• Ability to upgrade as your needs change  

User-changeable, label-specific optical mirror modules and filters provide superior detection sensitivity and contribute to measurement speed. As your laboratory’s application needs change or new applications come on line, you can add more modules to extend EnVision’s functionality.         

A high energy Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF) Laser excitation flash lamp reduces the number of repeated flashes needed, making the excitation cycle for detection as short as possible. The fastest mode uses an innovative “on-the-fly” detection synchronized with the excitation without stopping the plate between wells. This makes EnVision exceptionally fast, measuring absorbance or fluorescence intensity on a 1536-well plate in less than 36 seconds, including plate loading times.         

The plate conveyor and stackers have been optimized to achieve maximum possible speed, with parallel functionality as well as fast physical movements. The EnVision instruments are easily integrated into robotic systems and are designed to provide the greatest configuration flexibility including accepting microplates from 1- to 3456-wells. When combining the speed of EnVision with the high precision dispenser unit and temperature control, the versatile EnVision can perform fast kinetic measurements, enzyme assays and     numerous other cell-based drug discovery assays.
