SpectraMax ABS Absorbance ELISA Microplate Readers

Date:2020/3/19



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 our PathCheck? Sensor. The temperature independent PathCheck sensor 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.

Advantages:

Eliminate filters

Eliminate the need for purchasing and changing out filters with a monochromator-based wavelength selection for visible and UV-visible absorbance.


Get consistent results

Mix samples thoroughly in microplate wells with user-programmable Automix feature and monitor temperature-sensitive reactions with consistent temperature regulation from ambient to 45°C.


Integrate with ease

Integrate seamlessly with StakMax? Microplate Stacker within minutes. Integrate with all leading partner robots and with our out-of-the-box automation solution.


Pipetting errors eliminated

This reader utilizes Molecular Devices' PathCheck? Sensor 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 mimics a dual-beam spectrophotometer. Each well has its own sample beam and reference detector. 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.
