The Accuris SmartReader™ UV-Vis Microplate Readers have been designed with ease-of-use and fast results in mind. These instruments bring extensive capabilities to the lab bench and are made for the busy lab with multiple users. A large touch screen command center is user-friendly and allows for fast set up protocols, as well as modifying and running existing protocols.

The monochromator-based optical system allows for precise election of wavelength from 200nm to 1000nm, with no filters required. This range makes the SmartReader UV-Vis useful not only for typical ELISA, Brandford Lowry, and turbidity assays but also for more advanced applications such as quantitation of nucleic acids and proteins. The SmartRader UV-Vis can be set for Endpoint, Kinetic, and Spectral Scanning assays.

The MR9610 is designed for efficient processing for multiple samples and accepts standard 96-well plates as well as 384-well plates for high density screening. The plate layout interface allows for a quick and intuitive setup of a plate well’s contents. Users can highlight and label multiple wells to save time. The display shows a graphical representation of the plate. Users can label each well as required for: “known standard”, “unknown sample”, “blank well”, “QC Control well”, “positive control”, “negative control”, and “empty”.

Controllable plate shaking and incubation allow for optimization of assay results. The shaking speed can be controlled at different intensities with options for timed and pulsed shaking before a reading, or in between readings when performing a kinetic assay. The linear motion efficiently and uniformly mixes all samples in both 96- and 384-well plates. Temperature can be controlled from ambient +5°C up to 45°C, allowing for the processing of enzyme kinetics, and bacterial growth assays.

The SmartDrop Accessory Plate allows for the absorbance measurements of exceptionally small volumes (<0.5µl). The SmartDrop plate accommodates up to sixteen (16) samples and is ideal for checking nucleic acids concentrations and purity for Nex Gen Sequencing, or protein concentrations.
