DNA Quantification
Amazing microplate reader that combines simplicity with top-end performance. Fluorescence Intensity finds accurate and reproducible results
Review Date: 28 Sept 2023 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
We use it for cell viability assays without issue
Fluorescence/Absorbance measurements in microplates
The instrument is precise and very flexible to different assays. It requires low maintenance and it auto calibrates. Perhaps, the most interesting aspect is its modularity, which means it is possible to purchase only the modules needed for the lab activity and upgrade it afterward if necessary. The only downsides are the software build-in data analysis, which is not very flexible, and the possibility to export data only in excel or print them.
