Fast, Compact Absorbance Microplate Readers - SpectraMax ABS and ABS Plus Absorbance ELISA
Filterless readers provide consistent results with steady temperature regulation
The SpectraMax® ABS and ABS Plus absorbance microplate readers provide the flexibility, sensitivity, and convenience for a wide range of assays such as ELISAs, microbial growth, and protein quantitation. Both readers feature an 8-channel read head for fast reads and a subset feature, the temperature independent PathCheck sensor that automatically normalizes and ensures accurate absorbance values by detecting pipetting errors. Combined with a wide application base, industry-leading SoftMax® Pro Software and validation tools, these readers fit in every lab and every budget.
Features
-
Pipetting errors eliminated
This reader utilizes Molecular Devices' temperature independent PathCheck Sensor technology to measure the depth (optical pathlength) of samples in a microplate. It also allows for the elimination of standard curves.
-
Optimized optical path
The reader’s unique quartz fiber optic system minimizes stray light for precise readings across a microplate. The spectral resolution ensures accuracy of DNA absorbance measurements.
-
Eight-channel optics
The optical design of the reader enables simultaneous detection of 8 wells. The eight-channel system delivers both precision and speed across the microplate.
-
Dual wavelength reads
The reader delivers high performance with round-bottom, flat-bottom or half-area well plates. Dual wavelength readings report the actual absorbance at each wavelength making data analysis convenient.
-
Flexibility to read a variety of plate formats
SpectraMax® Absorbance Microplate Readers can run both cuvette-based and microplate reader applications on the same instrument. Read one sample or up to 384 in a single plate read using any standard cuvette, or 96- or 384-well microplate.
-
Validation made easy
Verify the accuracy of your absorbance measurements with the SpectraTest® ABS1 Absorbance Validation Plate, using NIST-traceable standards. Testing can be done in your own lab, on your own schedule.
