CAMAG BioLuminizer™ for bioluminescence detection by CAMAG

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
