Providing coincidence counting, a unique patented configuration with two photomultiplier tubes that simultaneously detect signal, the MicroBeta² system ensures high efficiency and extremely low background for a variety of radionuclides. Also, it features time-resolved liquid scintillation counting (TR-LSC), delivering improved counting performance for opaque plates where traditional coincidence counting isn't possible.

The MicroBeta² is designed for researchers engaged in all major radiometric and luminescence applications. By combining LSC reliability with a plate reader’s simplicity, it allows vast savings in time, consumables, and waste. The MicroBeta2 is ideal for assays using ³H ¹⁴C, ³³P, ³⁵S, ⁵¹Cr, ¹²⁵I, and glow-type luminescence labels as well as for ScintiPlate, FlashPlate, and other scintillation proximity assays. It counts filters and tubes in addition to microtitration plates
