Spectramax ABS Plus | Biomedical and Molecular Sciences | School of Medicine

This plate reader is compatible with 1 cm cuvettes, as well as 96 and 384 well plates. A wide range of assays such as ELISAs, microbial growth, and protein quantitation can be measured.

The SpectraMax ABS Plus Microplate Reader can run both cuvette-based and microplate reader applications on the same instrument.
The spectrometer has filterless monochromator flexibility that allows for selecting the exact wavelength from 190 to 1000 nm.
The 8-channel read head allows for fast read times which means a 96-well plate can be read in as little as five seconds.
SoftMax® Pro7 Data Acquisition and Analysis Software provides users with the ability to handle analysis requirements from simple endpoint assays to complex kinetic assays requiring custom calculations.
PathCheck® Technology enables consistent results across a 96- or 384-well plate despite volume differences that may occur due to pipetting errors
