Thermo Fisher Scientific VarioSkan LUX Multimode Microplate Reader: Tested & In Excellent Condition
This microplate reader, having been professionally inspected and tested by our technical staff, is confirmed to work without issue and bear no damage.
Our particular LUX includes absorbance, luminescence, and fluorescence intensity measurement capabilities. It can read microplates ranging from 6-well plates all the way to 1536-well (absorbance mode can only read up to 384-well plates).
Packaged with a power cable and a 90-day warranty, this VarioSkan LUX promises performance and cosmetics rivaling that of a new unit at a much more attractive price.
Thanks to the 30-day trial period that Thermo offers for the SkanIt software, our technical staff was able to connect this reader to a PC and ensure the devices communicated properly. Once connected, our techs installed a software update and then successfully calibrated the unit.
At no point were there any errors or red flags in the behavior of the VarioSkan LUX. As such, we believe it will provide you with top-notch performance.
Having rolled off the factory line in November 2016 and maintained well ever since, this VarioSkan LUX is still in excellent condition and bears only minor signs of wear. We recommend reviewing the photos.
