"I just received our brand new Modulus. It only takes 15 minutes to set it up and it is extremely easy for us to use. I invited everyone in the company to see and use the Modulus. Turner’s engineering is something I can expect the best and I am always impressed with. I have evaluated most of your luminometers and I have now two (20/20n and Modulus) in my lab." E-mail from customer who purchased the Modulus Microplate instrument "I received the Modulus. It is so easy to set up and program the instrument, I did it in 15 minutes. My interns tested absorbance module at 450 nm and it read wonderful. All the parts are working well. We will evaluate luminometer and absorbance modules in the next two weeks. I was very impressed with the system." E-mail from customer evaluating the Modulus Microplate Multimode Reader. |

Superior Performance The Modulus™ Microplate Multimode Reader uses a dedicated detector system for each measurement mode, whereas most other multimode instruments share one detector for several measurement modes. Our unique dedicated detector approach produces uncompromised sensitivity and a wider dynamic range in comparison to other multimode readers. The Modulus™ Microplate Multimode Reader yields the superior performance expected from single-mode instruments. Ease of Use
Value The unique features of the Modulus™ Microplate Multimode Reader reduce costs in several ways. First, purchase only what is needed now and add to the system in the future. Most instrument detection modules and accessories can be purchased and installed after the initial instrument purchase. Second, reduce system downtime as repairs may be performed on individual modules instead of the whole system. Finally, boost lab productivity by saving time spent on training lab staff because the system is so easy to use. Flexibility Scalable

Software Fluorescence The Modulus™ Microplate Multimode Reader with the Fluorescence Module installed stands alone as a high-performance fluorometer. The system can be alternatively configured as a multimode reader for measuring fluorescence, luminescence, and absorbance by purchasing and installing the luminescence and absorbance modules.
Superior performance is achieved by using a dedicated fluorescence detector instead of sharing the detector with other measurement modules. Optimum sensitivity is enabled with modern solid-state optics rather than traditional lamps and detectors. Each Fluorescence Optical Kit employs a powerful LED to excite samples with energy at the optimum wavelength for the selected application. This results in superior sensitivity, specificity, and flexibility.
The Modulus™ Microplate Multimode Reader Fluorescence Module features a dedicated optical design to read epifluorescence samples from above. A detection head and four Fluorescence Optical Kits are included to measure the most popular fluorophors. Optical kits can be easily exchanged in seconds. Instrument software ensures that the installed optical kit matches the selected application protocol. Protocols for nucleic acids and proteins such as PicoGreen®, RiboGreen®, and Quant-iT™ assays are preprogrammed into the instrument for convenience. Cell-based fluorescence assays and gene expression assays using various fluorescent proteins can also be measured.
Luminescence The Modulus™ Microplate Multimode Reader with the Luminescence UHS Module installed stands alone as a high-performance luminometer. The system can be alternatively configured as a multimode reader for measuring luminescence, fluorescence, and absorbance by purchasing and installing the fluorescence and absorbance modules.
Superior
performance is achieved by using a dedicated luminescence detector instead
of sharing the detector with other measurement modules. Optimum sensitivity
is achieved with low-noise circuitry, unique optical design, and a premium
photon-counting photomultiplier tube (PMT). Minimal crosstalk is realized
with our proprietary dual-masking systems where one mask covers the well
while another covers the detector.
Protocols for popular assays like Promega’s Dual-LuciferaseTM are preprogrammed into the instrument for convenience. These protocol wizards in combination with high performance and ease of use form an exceptional luminometer. Luminescence Light Plate The optional Luminescence Light Plate provides an external control to ensure the luminometer is functioning properly. Some labs require this additional verification procedure. Reading the light plate before taking measurements is a quick and easy way to ensure quality control over linearity and consistency of readings.
Superior Performance The Modulus™ Microplate Absorbance Reader provides measurements that are highly sensitive and cover a wide dynamic range. Superior performance is achieved by use of a large-area photodiode. The instrument can detect linear dynamic ranges from 0 – 4.0 OD, allowing undiluted samples of both low and high OD to be read simultaneously in the same microplate.

Figure 1 The Modulus™ Microplate Absorbance Reader has a six-position filter wheel. This filter wheel holds four factory-installed filters plus two additional filter positions are open for custom filters. The four installed filters have wavelengths of 450, 560, 600, and 750 nm with 10 nm bandwidth. The two open positions on the filter wheel can accommodate any 0.5-cm filter in the spectral range of 400 – 800 nm. Selecting the optimal filter for your application is simple by using the color touch-screen of the ModulusTM Microplate Absorbance Reader graphical user interface. For ratiometric assays, two wavelengths can be selected for each absorbance reading. OD values for each wavelength or a ratio of the two appear on the easy-to-read display screen. Easily measure microplates of ELISA assays as ratiometric assays where the readings include adjustment to account for optical imperfections.
Customizable filter paddles can easily be inserted into the rotating filter wheel attached to the absorbance head. Note: The filter wheel is not removable. Drawing is for demonstration only.
