The Lumi Flex Fluo is a standalone camera based detection system for lateral flow tests using europium stained antibodies.
Chelated europium complexes can be reliably detected with its superior optical system containing a powerful 365nm illumination unit optimized for reduced shadowing on the objects surface. Pictures are taken with a powerful camera with cut-off filter rejecting light below 600nm. This makes the platform suitable for europium but also other similar fluorescent dyes like Quantum dots.
A second illumination source outside the UV range enables barcode detection on test cassettes for clear identification and orientation check.
