ELISA Reader Features Modern Light Source, Small Footprint

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 09 Oct 2012
Performance features of a new microplate absorbance reader include optimized optics, a modern light source of principally unlimited lifetime, and a multiple-filter capacity that enables a broad range of applications.

The Apollo 11 ELISA Absorbance Reader provided by Berthold Technologies (Bad Wildbad, Germany), a company specializing in bioanalytical instruments for diagnostics and research, is a product of long-time, continuous optimization of ELISA reader technology and in particular introduces its new unlimited life-time LED light source technology.

The instrument also has the capacity to install up to six filters, enabling a variety of applications in one system, including DNA quantification, protein quantification, various enzyme activity assays including beta-Galactosidase and for immunoassay/ELISA - alkaline phosphatase and horseradish peroxidase. For extraordinary accuracy and precision (providing dependable measurement repeatability and traceable, comparable results), the Apollo 11 reader has an unusually large dynamic range of 0 to 3.7 OD, sophisticated optics, a robust mechanical design, and an integrated function that performs autocheck and autocalibration of the optics and electronics before every measurement.

An additional valuable feature is the PhotoRead software for showing on a single screen: data, commands, settings, and displays needed during operation. The easy-to-use self-explaining one-view PhotoRead software also allows initiation of measurements within seconds. Microplate shaking can be adjusted from a choice of 4 amplitudes and 4 speeds. Also notable is that the unit’s small footprint size (210 x 281 x 160 mm) saves valuable laboratory space.
