Abstract: An instrument for conducting luminescence assays in a multi-well plate is disclosed. The instrument comprises: a contact platform, wherein the contact platform comprises at least a pair of electrical contact probes, wherein the at least a pair of electrical contact probes comprise upstanding, spring-loaded pins, a controller operatively connected to a voltage source to conduct a voltage to the at least a pair of electrical contact probes, a plate carriage frame adapted to transport a single-well addressable multi-well plate and to position the multi-well plate relative to the contact platform, such that the voltage can be applied to one or more wells on the plate, and a vertical lift system to move the contact platform to contact corresponding electrode contacts located on a bottom of said multi-well plate, wherein the vertical lift system comprises a worm gear mating with a geared portion of a leadscrew, such that a rotation of the worm gear rotates the leadscrew, wherein the leadscrew is threadedly attached to a support base that supports the contact platform, such that a rotation of the leadscrew lifts or lowers the support base and the contact platform.
