PerkinElmer launches low-light level detection platform

PerkinElmer launched a new platform for low-light level detection applications, called L3D, at the annual Sensor + Test fair this week in Nürnberg, Germany.

The company said its suite of L3D applications contribute to human health for applications such as confocal microscopy, fluorescence and luminescence, molecular/PET imaging, nucleic acid amplification, particle sizing, and research and scientific instrumentation.

L3D highlights at Sensor + Test will include:
  • New short wavelength-enhanced Si-APD intended for use in molecular imaging and fluorescence detection applications;
  • Gigahertz photon detection module for analytical and clinical diagnostic application;
  • Single photon counting modules for confocal microscopy, particle sizing and time-correlated single photon counting applications; and
  • Silicon photomultipliers.
