"The plate reader software isn't that user friendly, but it's easy enough to figure out with a little tinkering. It may be the way our default program loads, but I find it sometimes annoying to navigate when creating new programs. However, the performance and variety of reading types is great. I didn't provide a star rating for the after sales service because I've never had to call the company. Plus I'm pretty sure some of the older grad students had voided any warranty with their antics a few years ago. I'm not sure how much the plate reader was as I wasn't around for the purchasing, but I'm sure our advisor went with the best value."
