iPeak® Europium
Reader for fluorescence tests
About iPeak® Europium
iPeak® Europium is IUL’s fluorescence lateral flow test reader compatible with most europium-based qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative assays.
Designed as an open system, this POC reader uses test-specific, shape-fitted drawers, to accommodate a wide range of Europium-based fluorescence rapid tests.
Compact and easy to integrate, iPeak® Europium is designed for applications in human and veterinary diagnostics, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, environmental testing and research. It can also be customized for OEM projects.
Built for long-term flexibility, iPeak® Europium allows new assays and cassette formats to be added over time while retaining the same reader platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The iPeak® Europium is an open-system fluorescence lateral flow reader that can be adapted to different cassette and strip formats. A customized drawer can be designed around your assay geometry so that the relevant test and control regions are correctly positioned for fluorescence measurement. (IUL)
The iPeak® Europium is designed for europium-labeled fluorescent lateral flow assays. It uses 365 nm excitation and 615 nm emission and supports qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative fluorescence analysis. (IUL)
The iPeak® Europium can analyze up to two lateral flow strips, with up to four test lines per strip, depending on cassette geometry and the assay's reading area. (IUL)
The reader can be configured using IUL's assay-development software. Developers can establish the assay method and define the relevant reading and analysis parameters for their europium fluorescence test before transferring the method to the reader for routine use. (IUL)
No. A computer is used during assay development and configuration, but routine tests can subsequently be performed directly on the iPeak® Europium as a standalone fluorescence lateral flow reader. (IUL)
Methods developed for a specific fluorescence lateral flow assay can be encoded in a Data Matrix and scanned by the reader. This allows the appropriate assay configuration to be loaded efficiently and helps standardize methods between instruments and testing locations. (IUL)
Yes. The iPeak® Europium stores test results and images and provides USB and network connectivity for result export. Data can also be sent to an external SFTP server or integrated with laboratory information systems through HL7-compatible connectivity. (IUL)
The iPeak® Europium combines controlled fluorescence excitation, image acquisition, and IUL image-processing algorithms to increase the usable dynamic range of europium-labeled lateral flow assays. This enables measurement of fluorescent signals across low- and high-concentration samples while supporting objective qualitative and quantitative interpretation. (IUL)
Yes. The iPeak® Europium includes a built-in temperature sensor to monitor the operating conditions of the lateral flow test. This information can help support assay traceability and controlled test workflows. (IUL)
Yes. IUL offers OEM customization of the iPeak® Europium for fluorescence lateral flow applications, including customized colors, logos, branding, and adaptations for specific assay and cassette formats. (IUL)
The iPeak® Europium uses 365 nm excitation and 615 nm emission, a configuration designed for europium-based fluorescent labels used in lateral flow assays. (IUL)
