We needed an affordable, easy to use but versatile microplate reader for our basic lab skills practical courses. This instrument has it all. One star less for ease of use, because we hoped to find an instrument with on-board computer; but a simple laptop fits nicely on the machine and can be set up for any purpose necessary.
Support by the company was and continues to be excellent. User-problems are taken serious and answered in a timely, friendly, and very constructive manner.
