"During my graduate school career, while working out the effect of small molecules in modulation of important transcription factor- NF-kB, a protein which acts as a survival factor in cancer cells, I used Turner Biosystem's veritas luminometer instrument for chemiluminescence based reporter assays.

The sensitivity of veritas is phenomenal! The data I got gave a very clear yes/no answer! I used it with conjunction to promega's dual reporter assay and it worked great. We were able to clearly establish the effect of the small molecules we generated on activation of NF-kB using veritas. The software is very userfriendly and the system itself is dynamic with several options which you may/may not incorporate depending on your experiment. Overall, i found the instrument perfect at a very good price!R results were published in Chemistry and Biology 2004 and Journal of the American Chemical Society 2006."

Ultra Sensitive

The Veritas™ Microplate Luminometer provides superior sensitivity and precision for all luminescent assays. Proprietary circuitry and an advanced photon-counting photomultiplier tube (PMT) provide unmatched signal-to-noise ratios. With a detection limit of 3 x 10^-21 moles of luciferase using Promega’s Luciferase Assay Reagent, the Veritas™ is the most sensitive microplate luminometer available.

Veritas™ reads a variety of samples.

Complete internal auto-injection system integration is an added convenience. Connections, priming and flushing are greatly simplified because the optional injectors are designed to fit right next to the plate detection module. This arrangement minimizes dispensing problems, simplifies maintenance and reduces services calls. The dispensing design also includes many features that help the user save valuable time and reagents.

Completely visible plumbing eliminates problems. In most luminometers the user cannot see tubing and injector tips during flushing and priming, and reagent accumulations frequently cause clogging and inaccurate dispensing.

Veritas' open architecture enables the user to inspect all tubing and tips during flushing and priming. All reagent plumbing parts are clearly visible and easy to change or clean. Thus, problems can be seen and eliminated before a run is started. This feature saves valuable time, reagents and samples.

Software setup wizards guide the user through a brief process when establishing new protocols. New users can setup protocols and operate the instrument without a steep learning curve.

Versatile

Because of its innovative detector design, the Veritas™ Microplate Luminometer features a dynamic range of greater than nine decades. This measurement technology spans the full range of virtually all chemiluminescent and bioluminescent assays. With two optional injectors, the Veritas™ is capable of performing both flash and glow type luminescent assays.

Fully Supported

The Veritas™ Microplate Luminometer is supported around the world by Turner BioSystems, our service centers and our dealer network. We are staffed with scientists who are very familiar with the applications, as well as the instrument. In most locations, Promega also offers applications support for their reagents on the Veritas™.
