The Absorbance 96 Plate Reader is the most compact spectrophotometer on the market with a footprint only slightly larger than a microplate. It delivers accurate and precise optical density (OD) outputs. The reader is compatible with Automation Trainer’s Validation Reference Plate (VRP) which can be used to test the photometric accuracy and linearity of virtually any reader, and correct GLH QC Kit results to achieve NIST-Traceability. - Fits in a backpack or small purse - USB-powered - Weighs less than 1 kg (900 g) with 3.8″ x 6.1″ footprint - 96 detection units w/ four standard filters: 405, 450, 492, 620 nm (custom wavelengths available) - Photometric range: 0.0-4.0 OD - 5 second Read time capability - Solid-State, maintenance-free - Applications from ELISA to protein and cell-based assays
