The Accuris SmartReader™ 96 is ideal for labs measuring concentration or absorbance in 96-well plates. Its 7-inch touch screen, intuitive software, and graphical interface allow for easy, standalone operation without needing a separate computer. The SmartReader™ 96 includes four standard filters (405, 450, 492, and 630nm), with 26 additional filters available, covering 340 to 750nm. The filter wheel holds up to eight filters, selectable during programming.
Users can program the device using the touch screen or a connected mouse, selecting wavelength filters, shaking parameters, plate layout details, and reading protocols. The MIC1202 model offers precise temperature control for plate incubation, from 5°C above ambient to 50°C. The device also supports dual-filter measurements and kinetic calculations.
All software is integrated into the SmartReader™ 96, making it a convenient standalone system. Data can be easily saved to a USB drive via a side port and transferred as universal .csv files for further processing. A data port also allows connection to a computer or printer.
The plate layout interface allows quick setup, with a graphical representation of the 96-well plate. Users can label wells (e.g., “standard,” “sample,” “blank,” “QC control,” “control,” or “empty”) and highlight multiple wells to save time.
Measurement data, interpretations, and analysis are displayed immediately after readings. Key features include the 7-inch colour touch screen, a filter-based system with a 340-750nm wavelength range, standalone operation with USB data transfer, an absorbance range of 0.0 to 4.000 Abs, an 8-channel optical path, a multi-speed plate shaker, and temperature-controlled incubation (MIC1202 model).
