An ELISA Plate Reader, also known as a Microplate Reader, 96 Well Plate Reader, or Assay Plate Reader is a spectrophotometry based detection machine that detects and processes biological and chemical signal data using absorbance spectrophotometry. An ELISA Plate Reader is used routinely during the performance of ELISAs, enzyme activity assays, nucleic acid and protein quantification assays, chemiluminescence assays and fluorescence detection assays – providing information such as fluorescence intensity, polarization and time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) data.
The Benchmark Accuris SmartReader 96 Plate Reader is an excellent ELISA Plate Reader from the Benchmark Accuris range. This ELISA Plate Reader is a welcome addition to any lab that is routinely measuring concentration or absorbance in 96 well plates. The instrument’s 7-inch color touch screen control panel, intuitive software and graphical interface makes it easy to use as a standalone instrument – a separate computer and additional software is not required. This ELISA Plate Reader is a filter based system with a wavelength range from 340 nm to
750 nm. 4 popular filters are included with the unit: 405 nm, 450 nm, 492 nm and 630 nm, while a total of 26 filters are available for use with the instrument. The integrated filter wheel of this ELISA Plate Reader allows for up to 8 filters to be loaded at one time, and filters can be selected during programming. This ELISA Plate Reader operates as a standalone system with USB flash drive for data transfer. It can also be connected to a computer and printer should you require it to be. It has an absorbance range of 0.0 to 4.0000 Abs, 8 channel vertical optical path, with zero dispersion and an integrated multi-speed plate shaker. The quartz-halogen lamp light source is the best quality light source for plate reader applications.
Pipette.com carries a great range of other spectrophotometers and plate readers for a variety of uses and lab applications so you can find the best unit for your needs.
