Tecan's New Infinite(R) M1000 Multimode Microplate Reader is Launched at LabAutomation 2008

DURHAM, N.C.--(Business Wire)--Tecan is launching the Infinite(R) M1000, its new flagship
microplate reader, at LabAutomation 2008, booth 305, 27-30 January in
Palm Springs, USA. The high-end detection system offers
top-of-the-range flexibility, sensitivity and speed for a wide range
of detection modes, and has been especially optimized for time
resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET)-based assays, as well
as glow luminescence, fast luminescence and dual color luminescence
assays.

The Infinite M1000 gives excellent flexibility through its
next-generation premium quad4 monochromators(TM), but its innovative
technology also provides the uncompromising sensitivity and speed
typically associated with filter-based systems. The platform can be
upgraded with new detection modes at any time, making it ideal for
bridging the drug discovery gap between research, assay development
and screening in the biopharmaceutical industry, as well as for
research laboratories with multiple users and ever-changing
applications. The system provides high quality performance for a broad
spectrum of applications that includes the latest biomolecular assays
for primary and secondary screening, receptor-ligand binding studies,
cell-based assays and UV fluorometry-based applications.

The Infinite M1000 has an optional state-of-the-art injector
module for up to two injectors, and can be combined with a stacker
module or fully integrated with the Freedom EVO(R) series of automated
liquid handling workstations.
