Junior LB 9509 Tube Iluminometer

The Junior is a small portable tube luminometer which can be used for all common applications using glow type bioluminescent and chemiluminescent reagents. Excellent performance, small size, low weight and battery-powered mode make it an ideal partner whenever mobility counts - in the laboratory, on site or outdoors. The Junior can be used for a wide range of fields, including biomedical research, clinical diagnostics, hygiene monitoring, process control in biotechnology, environmental monitoring (e.g. water quality) and others. 

Research-level performance in portable format
Most portable luminometers are designed only to discriminate if an area is contaminated or not, and hence offer low sensitivity and reduced dynamic range. In contrast, the Junior offers a performance similar to those of laboratory tube luminometers: it can detect less than 50 amol ATP/tube and has a dynamic range larger than 6 orders of magnitude.

Always up and running
The Junior can be operated independently from a mains supply for many hours, as it is equipped with rechargeable batteries; spare battery sets are available, so you can continue working for as long as you need. In the lab, the instrument can be connected to a mains supply thereby automatically recharging the batteries.

Easy to carry
With a weight of only 2 Kg and its small size the Junior can be carried and taken to the sampling location for measurements on site. A metal transport case providing space for the Junior and accessories is an ideal solution for outdoor use.
