The Accuris Smart Reader 96 is a welcome addition to any lab that is routinely measuring concentration or absorbance in 96 well plates. The instrument's 7 inch touch screen, intuitive software and graphical interface makes it easy to use as a standalone instrument (a separate computer and additional software is not required). The Smart Reader 96 comes complete with 4 popular filters: 405, 450, 492, 630nm and twenty six additional filters are available separately to cover a full range from 340 to 750nm. The integrated filter wheel allows up to 8 filters to be loaded at once, and filters can be selected during programming. Use the touch screen, or connect a mouse for programming and operation. The menu interface allows the user to choose the wavelength filter, set shaking parameters, enter details of the plate layout, and also choose the details for the reading protocol and data calculations.
