Using the Tristar2 S LB 942 for High-Performance Time-Resolved FRET Analysis

BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES GmbH & Co. KG
25 Nov 2016

This application note describes the validation of the Tristar2 S LB 942 Multidetection microplate reader with the Transcreener® GDP TR-FRET Red assay from BellBrook Labs. The TriStar2 S combines the user friendliness of a multimodal optical system, with the sensitivity and performance of a dedicated optical device. It has been developed for full modularity and equipped with the proprietary ONE-4-ALL optical system.

Transcreener® GDP GTPase Assays

BellBrook Labs

The Transcreener® GDP GTPase Assay Kit directly measures GDP produced during GTP hydrolysis in a homogeneous mix‑and‑read format—no coupling enzymes needed. Compatible with GTPases, GAPs, and GEFs, it supports FP, FI, and TR‑FRET readouts using far‑red tracers to reduce interference. HTS‑ready with excellent sensitivity (Z′ ≥ 0.7), it streamlines screening and profiling workflows.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.FluorescenceThe emission of fluorescence occurs when a photon of energy is supplied to a fluorescent chemical compound by an external source, causing it to become excited. Fluorescence can be detected and measured for different purposes using microplate readers, fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence scanners, and flow cytometers.Fluorescence Based AssayFluorescence based assays are widely used in life science research and high-throughput screening to measure a broad range of cellular activities.Assay DevelopmentThe process of proving an assay to be sensitive with respect to the target is known as assay development. The assay should be able to characterize novel compounds and measure the potency of these compounds against a validated biological target.TR-FRETMethod ValidationMethod validation is the process used to prove that the analytical procedure used for a particular test is capable of providing suitable data.FRET
