Microplate Luminometer System Description
4
The MONOLIGHT 3096 is the basic unit which can be upgraded
with the injector unit, containing 2 injectors. The MONOLIGHT
3096 is designed for working with injectors (special devices for
injector tips and tubings). In connection with the highly precise
injector unit, measurements with up to two injectors can be
performed.
Operation and control of the MONOLIGHT 3096 Microplate Lu-
minometer, the injectors, as well as evaluation of the measured
results take place via the Windows software Simplicity Photon
Counter (abbreviated: Simplicity PC) which was specifically de-
signed for this field of application. It is based on MS EXCEL and
features clearly structured and intuitive user guidance.
Three measurement modes based on predefined measure-
ment protocols are available:
Raw Data Quick measurement of a microplate
Slow Kinetics Kinetics measurement for longer light
reactions. For each data point all
samples are measured in succession.
Fast Kinetics Kinetics measurement for short light
reactions. The trend of the light emis-
sion of the 1
st
sample, then the 2
nd
sample etc. is measured.
The software is designed such that further measurement proto-
cols can be integrated. This can be done by the user via EXCEL
macros in the Simplicity PC software.
The MONOLIGHT 3096 Injector Unit works with the same PC
software. Corresponding to the current instrument configuration,
additional program functions are enabled when injectors
are connected.
