Commercially available luminometers and imaging devices for low-light level measurements and kits and reagents utilizing bioluminescence or chemiluminescence: survey update 4.

This survey was compiled in June 1996 and includes products not covered in the luminometer survey (Jan 1992: Stanley PE, J Biolumin Chemilumin 1992: 7:77-108 and 7:157-69), kits and reagent survey (Nov 1992: Stanley PE, J Biolumin Chemilumin 1993; 8:51-63), update 1 (June 1993, luminometers, kits and reagents, Stanley PE, J Biolumin Chemilumin 1993; 8:237-40) and update 2 (Dec: 1993, luminometers, kits and reagents, Stanley PE, J Biolumin Chemilumin 1994; 9:51-3) and update 3 (Feb 1994, luminometers, kits and reagents, Stanley PE, J Biolumin Chemilumin 1994; 9:123-5). Technical details are provided together with company address and contact information including e-mail and website addresses where known. No recommendations or comparisons are provided in the updates. All items are included free of charge. Companies with new products are invited to contact the author to have these considered for inclusion in future surveys. Items include luminometers, radiometers, low-light imaging, CCD cameras, immunoassays, ATP rapid microbiology, hygiene monitoring, molecular probes, labels, nucleic acid hybridization and reporter genes. An index is included of all companies mentioned in this and all previous surveys.
