The PHERAstar, PHERAstar Plus, Omega, and CLARIOstar microplate readers have received our LanthaScreen Certified Plus designation which ensures that these readers are validated to strict standards in instrument setup and assay performance.

Before using LanthaScreen Terbium and Europium assays

Test your plate reader set-up

These technical notes provide a method for verifying that a fluorescent plate reader is able to detect a change in time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) signal, confirming proper instrument set-up and a suitable response. The method is independent of any biological reaction or equilibrium and uses reagents that are on-hand for the LanthaScreen assay.
