Microplate Readers
Biochrom Asys UVM 340 Microplate Reader
- PC-controlled monochromator-based microplate enabling readings from 340 - 800 nm
- Flexible wavelength selection ideal for labs running a variety of assays
- Optional software packages allowing flexible analytical requirements
- QC plate and QC software for instrument validation ensuring peace of mind
Designed for labs running varied assays
The Biochrom Asys UVM340 Microplate Reader is a PC-controlled microplate reader with the ability to read at any wavelength in 1nm increments between 340 and 800 nm in plates from 12 - 96 well with the standard ANSI SBS footprint. The Biochrom Asys UVM340 Microplate Reader has 4 shaking modes for mixing of solutions and the ability to perform readings at timed intervals ideal for kinetic assays. The monochromator-based system allows wavescanning; multiple measurements at different wavelengths in the same well, important for contamination detection, sample purity analysis, optimal peak absorbance detection and product formation studies.
Flexibility in software choices to meet application requirements
The Biochrom Asys UVM340 is supplied as standard with DigiRead which controls the instrument and collects raw data for transfer to Microsoft® Excel and with ScanPlus, PC software for wavescanning of single microplate wells.
Optional PC software packages:
• KIM is a data reduction package including end-point assay requirements for 96-well plates, and the ability to design bespoke reports
Applications
The Biochrom Asys UVM340 is designed for ELISA's, enzyme immunoassays, protein quantitation (BCA, Lowry, Bradford), cell proliferation, and cell survival assays, plus cell-based assays where shaking is required to keep cells in suspension, enzyme kinetic assays, assays requiring wavescans or spectral scans, and assays measuring the changes in absorbance of NADH at 340nm.
