Microtitre plate readers

The Expert 96 Plate Reader from ASYS Hitech offers robust construction, high throughput and reliability in a low cost visible, or UV/vis plate reader. The Expert 96 system light sources have an expected lifetime of 10 million readings. In combination with a range of Windows-compatible software and a precise 8 channel optical system the Expert 96 system allows high throughput of plates. With reading speeds of around 5 s/plate and OD capability to 4.00 ODs, integral shaking and a small footprint, the Expert 96 is suited to the busy laboratory. The Expert 96 covers a wavelength range from 340 to 800 nm, or 400 to 800 nm for the non-UV version, and a selection of wavelength filters is available, with up to 6 filters mounted simultaneously.

The Expert 96 system is self-calibrating and this self-check and self-calibration routine is carried out before each measurement for the greatest accuracy possible.

The system is robot friendly with a front, self-loading mechanism that is also Twister compatible. A range of software protocols allows simple data acquisition for user programming or full menu-driven routines for 'end-point', kinetics and agglutination applications.
