Tecan Spark 10M
The Tecan Spark multimode plate reader is a high-performance laboratory instrument designed for a wide range of biomedical and pharmaceutical research applications. It excels in measuring absorbance, fluorescence, fluorescence polarization (FP), time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), and luminescence, making it an essential tool for drug discovery, biomarker screening, and molecular diagnostics.
With the ability to perform a full absorbance spectrum scan from 200 to 1000 nm in under 5 seconds, the Spark enables rapid nucleic acid and protein quantification, enzymatic kinetics, and spectral analysis. The Fluorescence Fusion Optics system combines monochromator-based flexibility with filter-based sensitivity, allowing precise selection of excitation and emission wavelengths—a critical feature for FRET assays, fluorescence-based gene expression studies, and protein-protein interaction research.
The Spark 10M model includes CO2 and temperature control, providing optimal conditions for live cell imaging, proliferation assays, and cytotoxicity studies in standard microplates. Its automated lid handling system enhances gas exchange and evaporation protection, ensuring consistency in long-term kinetic cell-based assays such as cell viability, apoptosis detection, and stem cell research. Additionally, the integrated automated reagent injection system streamlines workflows and enhances assay reproducibility, making it ideal for high-throughput screening, immunoassays, and biochemical pathway analysis.
