Vilber Lourmat

If you are considering the Vilber Lourmat Chemi-Smart systems, you should also evaluate the Alpha Innotech FluorChem HD2. The FluorChem HD2 offers an exceptional 4MP resolution while the Vilber Lourmat Chemi-Smart only provides 1.3MP resolution. The FluorChem HD2 is cooled to -25 C and this cooling is absolute and regulated for the highest quality data, while the cooling of the Vilber Lourmat Chemi-Smart system is non-regulated, which allows fluctuations in temperature of the CCD chip and can lead to a less desirable signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, the FluorChem HD2 offers a superior 16-bit dynamic range to capture both weak and robust signals within the same sample, while the Vilber Lourmat Chemi-Smart only offers a 12-bit dynamic range.
