Details

The SmartReader™ 96 is designed for any lab that is routinely measuring concentration or absorbance in 96 well plates. The instrument's intuitive software and graphical interface makes it easy to use as a stand-alone instrument.

Features
•              Intuitive, 7 inch color touch screen control panel
•              Filter based system with wavelength range from 340 to 750nm
•              Operates as a stand alone system, or connects to a PC or printer
•              Absorbance range: 0.0 to 4.0000 Abs
•              8 channel vertical optical path, with zero dispersion
•              Integrated, multispeed plate shaker
•              NEW! MR9600-T is temperature-controlled for plate incubation

Four popular filters are included with the SmartReader™ 96 (405, 450, 492, 630nm) and 25 additional filters are available separately to cover a full wavelength range.  The integrated filter wheel allows up to 8 filters to be loaded at once, and filters can be selected during programming. Up to two filters can be used for 2 measurements of the sample plate for calculated comparisons.  Kinetic calculations can be performed by setting multiple readings.

The menu interface allows the user to choose the wavelength filter and set shaking parameters. The plate layout interface allows for quick set up of a plate’s well contents.  The display shows a graphical representation of the 96 well plate, and the user can label each well as required for: “known standard”, “unknown sample”,  “blank well”, “QC control well”, “negative control”, “positive control”, or “empty”.  The interface allows highlighting and labeling multiple wells to save time.  Measurement data is available immediately onscreen after a reading, as well as interpretations, calculated analysis and curve fittings.

While computer connection and additional software is not required, a data port is available for connecting a computer, mouse or basic printer  A convenient USB port on the side allows quick and easy saving of .csv files to a USB drive.

Model MR9600-T offers precise temperature control at 5° C above ambient to 50° C for incubation of plates during processing.
