Advanced LVF Monochromator and Filter Selector System
Perfect for measuring and developing fluorescence assays, BMG LABTECH’s CLARIOstar has an Advanced LVF (Linear Variable Filter) monochromator for flexibility that can be used in combination with filters for greater sensitivity. The Advanced LVF Monochromators, having continually adjustable wavelengths (320 to 850 nm) and bandwidths (8 to 100 nm) for excitation and emission, have significantly increased performance over conventional monochromators.
The Technology
BMG’s Advanced LVF Monochromator system consists of two Linear Variable Filter (LVF) Monochromators and Filter Selectors for excitation and for emission. Separating the excitation from the emission light is a Linear Variable Dichroic Mirror (LVDM) slide. The high transmission and the outstanding blocking of stray light give the CLARIOstar’s monochromator system filter-like performance. In addition, the slides can hold fixed filters, polarizers, and fixed dichroic mirrors for special applications like FP, TR-FRET or Alpha Technology.
