Microplate Reader

[Roger Murphy]

Have you looked at the Victor instrument made by Wallac?

I have absolutely no idea who handles this ageny in the US, but the instrument 
will measure as a photometer, a fluorometer, a time-delayed fluorometer and as 
a luminometer.  

It isn't cheap (again, I've no idea of US price and I hate to think of the 
aussie dollar price at the moment!) but it seems very versatile.  I haven't 
actually used one, but if its half as good as the company claims, it may be 
what you are looking for.

Cheers,

Roger
