Revvity MicroBeta2 Microplate Counters

The MicroBeta2 system provides advanced radiometric and luminescent detection abilities for GPCRs, kinases, reporter gene assays, and traditional liquid scintillation counting. It delivers superior sensitivity and performance along with flexibility you can depend on.

The MicroBeta2 system provides coincidence counting, a unique patented detector configuration with two photomultiplier tubes that detect the signal simultaneously. This configuration ensures high efficiency and extremely low background for a variety of radionuclides. Luminescence detection is conducted using the single photon counting method to achieve the lowest possible background and good counting efficiency for greater sensitivity.

Time-resolved Liquid Scintillation Counting (TR-LSC) is one of the key features of the MicroBeta2 platform. The patented TR-LSC counting mode delivers improved counting performance for opaque plates where traditional coincidence counting isn’t possible. TR-LSC mode also offers great performance when combined with FlashPlate® products, UniFilter® plates, and LumaPlates®.
