CAMAG BIOLUMINIZER

In a nutshell

Ultra-sensitive bioluminescence detection

The BioLuminizer® 2 is a specialized detection system for bioluminescence on HPTLC plates. It features a light-excluding, climate-controlled compartment and a high-resolution 16-bit CCD camera for precise imaging. Its ergonomic design and intuitive software make it easy to use in stand-alone mode.

The system allows for fast, cost-effective detection of bioactivity without requiring special antibacterial precautions, as it uses non-pathogenic luminescent bacteria, Allivibrio fischeri. This method is ideal for identifying toxic compounds in complex samples, such as food, beverages, cosmetics, and water. After separating the sample on the plate, luminescent bacteria reveal toxic zones as dark spots against a glowing background.

  • Cooled 16 bit CCD camera
  • Optimized plate compartment to keep bacteria moist
  • Small footprint
  • Easy to clean
  • HPTLC plates (20 x 10 cm, 10 x 10 cm)
  • Stand-alone operation using BioLuminizer® 2 software
EXAMPLE

Processed wastewater containing X-ray contrast media is frequently irradiated with UV light. The HPTLC bioluminescence image shows the bioactive effect of degradation products. As can be seen, an increase of the irradiation time generates substances with a distinctively inhibitory effect on the luminescent bacteria. In a cuvette test, this inhibitory effect would have been masked by degradation products.
