"The instrument is not set up for high throughput / fast screening. The plate stacker that partners with this instrument takes up 2x the space requirements as the reader itself. It is a slow and clunky technology. If your needs are to run just a few plates a day this reader works fine, and it is modular so additional features can be installed / purchased after original purchase. There are so many other readers out there with better plate stackers and faster reading times."

"The device is easy to use due to the convenient change of fluorescence filter and the amalgamation with the program is really handy. You just put your plate into the reader, click a button according to the wavelength and the shaking conditions and all the results appear instantly in the excel spreadsheet."
