Orion II Technical Data

Sample Format

96-well microplate, opaque in solid or strip format,
configuration for both 96- well and 384-well microplate available.

Detector

Photomultiplier tube with bialkali cathode, effective spectral sensitivity
range 300-600 nm, operated in photon counting mode.

Sensitivity

2 atto mole ATP.

Crosstalk

Less than 3 x 10^-5.

Dynamic Range

6 decades.

Measuring Time

0.1-100 s per well.

Scan Pattern

Measurement by row or by columns.
Random selectable single well, access by mouse-click.

Injectors

Up to four per Orion II system (upgradeable).
Two injectors in pre-position, two in measurement position.

Injection Volumes

10-150 ¥ìl per pump in increments of 1¥ìl.

Injection Pattern

Double Injection Design DID: Simultaneous injection into two adjacent
wells possible in column mode as well as in row mode.

Tubing

Chemically inert PTFE tubing and connections (PTFE; KEL-F; glass; PS),
easily exchangeable liquid handling system and tips.
Minimal dead volume due to short reagent lines.

Priming
