Multimode Microplate Reader - Absorbance, Fluorescence, Luminescence - 6 to 384 Wells

The Master Science Multimode Microplate Reader combines absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence detection in one instrument for plates from 6 to 384 wells. A monochromator gives absorbance readings anywhere from 200 to 1000 nm in 1 nm steps, while filter-based optics with a PMT handle fluorescence and luminescence.

A 10-inch Android touch screen runs layouts, kinetics, spectra and standard curves without a computer, and plates can be shaken and incubated from 4 °C above room temperature to 45 °C. Micro-volume plates and automatic injectors can be added later.
