Application note: Increasing throughput with dual emission AlphaLISA-AlphaPlex assay and simultaneous dual emission detection
Multiplexing AlphaLISA type assays will increase throughput while sample expenditure and costs are minimised. The ability of the PHERAstar FS microplate reader to perform simultaneous dual emission detection of this assay will allow users to double the information obtained from each well in the same amount of time as needed…

Application note: Miniaturisation of an HTRF methyltransferase assay that detects histone modifying activity
High throughput screening is mostly done in pharmaceutical companies that test whole libraries of compounds. Reducing the assay volume will reduce operating costs. At the same time it is necessary to prove that the smaller volume will not have a negative impact on assay sensitivity and reliability.
