Good and robust instrument. Simple to use
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area: Quantification of plasmaproteins in plasma or fractions thereof.

"Instrument is simple to use After sales care could be improved somewhat: it shouldn't happen, that an instrument doesn't work properly five days after maintenance We don't use all features of the instrument e.g. automatic incubation. So value for money is not five stars for us."

  • Application Area:Biochemistry

"In our experience the Crocodile reader from Berthold systems is a robust equipment, which we fully recommend due to its integrated wash and reader facilities that are easy to use and represent good quality for money. It has enabled high quality results in peptide quantification and enzyme activity measurements as well as antimicrobial assays. In addition to the equipment's performance We have excellent after care in a friendly environment that attends specific personal needs. "

  • Application Area:enzyme assays, specific product quantification, protein quantification and antimicrobial/antiadhesio

"We choose this equipment because of its robustness, ease of use and configuration (Reader + washer). We are quite satisfied because all procedures, enzyme assays, specific product quantification, protein quantification and antimicrobial/antiadhesion assays can be carried out on microtiter plates and quantified using the Crocodile reader. Excellent product and good value for money."

  • Application Area:We are using for determining blood parameters from animal samples

"This product is effective for our researches because Crocodile is an automate analyzer so the human errors like pipetting the reagents is minimum, also is time saver. Regarding after sales care, until now, because we have had it for about 1 year, we are satisfied. The personal from sale care is very prompt. From a research point of view, I think the value for money is good."

  • Application Area:ELISA automation

"Aside from the obvious benefits of hand-free operation, we find that day to day reproducibility is better with the Crocodile than with manual assays. In particular, we find it very useful for assays that require critical timing and/or temperature control. We also regularly just use the plate reader functionality to take advantage of the interface with Microwin for data interpolation."

Crocodile is a compact ELISA workstation for the automation of 96 well microplate assays.

It is a bench-top instrument that has been designed specifically with ease of use in mind. It is easy to operate, extremely reliable and only requires minimal routine maintenance.

The miniWorkstation is a multi-purpose device, providing the same functionality as 5 individual instruments in a footprint similar to a standard stand-alone microplate reader:

  • Reagent dispenser - 4 onboard dispensers
  • Automated washer - 8 channel washer/aspirator
  • Plate shaker (frequency: 5 - 20 Hz)
  • Incubator (temperature: ambient - 55°C)
  • OD reader (pre-installed filters: 405, 450, 492, 620 nm)

Applications:

  • All kinds of ELISA/EIA tests performed in 96-well microplates
