BioTek ELx800 Absorbance Microplate Reader

Description

The ELx800 is a single-channel reader-assay system, designed to automatically perform endpoint analysis for ELISA-based applications. The reader has the following capabilities:

• All models: Measurement of the optical density of solutions in 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, or 96-well microplates.

• “NB” models: Measurement of 384-well microplates and 60-, 72-, 96-well Terasaki trays as well as 6-, 12, 24-, 48-, and 96-well plates.

• Superior optical specifications, with an extended dynamic range of up to 3.000 absorbance units in some read modes.

• All models: A wavelength range from 400 nm to 750 nm.

• “UV” models: An extended range from 340 nm to 750 nm.

• Kinetic analysis can be performed using computer control (e.g., via Gen5, KC4, or KCjunior running on a host computer).

• Assay definitions (consisting of protocols, templates and formulas) and the data they produce are managed by an onboard processor, via an LCD screen and membrane keypad.

• Data can be stored onboard, printed, and/or uploaded to controlling software on a host computer.

• Designed to serve as a stand-alone system, or as part of a larger laboratory data network, sending, receiving, and manipulating assay data as needed.

Specifications:

Wavelength Range:  400 to 750 nm

Filters: 10 nm half-bandwidth interference filters. User-accessible filter wheel. Up to 5 filters may be installed on the instrument at one time.
