CAMAG BioLuminizer^® for bioluminescence detection

Brochure as pdf Examples, Applications

Toxicity screening of complex mixtures following separation on a HPTLC plate is a new technique invented by Bayer. Now Chromadex has incorporated this technology into a commercial kit (Bioluminex^®) utilizing the bioluminescent bacteria, Vibrio fischeri. Following separation detection is required.

The CAMAG BioLuminizer^® is the perfect detector for this exceptionally innovative approach.

CAMAG created an optimized system for detecting bioluminescence patterns on TLC plates. The BioLuminizer^® is the system, which has been specifically designed to balance the need for sensitivity, cost effectiveness and ease of use.              

State of the Art Bioluminescence Detection

• High resolution cooled CCD camera with a first grade chip of the latest generation.
• Exceptionally high quantum efficiency of up to 65% for short exposure times.
• State of the Art 16 bit data acquisition detects smallest change in intensity.
• Resolution optimized to resolve all details on the TLC plate following treatment with Bioluminex^®.

Perfect Conditions for Vibrio fischeri

• Optimized TLC plate compartment to preserve a favorable environment for luminescent bacteria like Vibrio fischeri.
• No dry-out, the bacteria are kept moist and luminescent for hours.
• Stable environment allowing long term and differential measurements.
• Predictable bioluminescence activity for reproducible results.
• compact System, user-friendly handling, easy to clean setup
