Absorbance 96
The Absorbance 96 is the world’s most compact microplate reader. The vision behind the device was to give the user complete flexibility. The result is the first truly portable microplate reader featuring a unique design comprising 96-individual detection units and maintenance-free, solid-state technology. Together with the modern, highly intuitive user software, the Absorbance 96 ushers in the new category of microplate reade…
Almost as small as the microplate itself

Fantastic device, a game changer
Analyze microbial growth
Super convenient device, doing everything we need it to do. We opted for this over a larger spectrophotometer due to the low cost, ease of operation, and versatility.

Fast, easy, and great customer service!
Analyze salivary cortisol for science fair samples
The unit was very intuitive to use, and the user manual made setup very simple. The hardest part about the setup was recognizing how to set up iterating samples, but once you get the hang of it, it is incredibly SIMPLE. The unit is the size of a large phone, and readings are incredibly fast and accurate, based on the calibration samples we had. The customer service was also wonderful.

AMAZING instrument, easy to use and super compact!
Bacterial growth
Incredible customer service. Byonoy were assisting us every step of the way! They were fast and effectively helpful! The plate reader itself is very compact and provides accurate and reproducible readings and it takes up so little space. The software is also very intuitive and easy to use.

Highly recommended, one of the best readers on the market currently
Cytokines, proteins and antibodies measurement on commercial kits and home-made ELISA's
I had the opportunity to use Absorbance 96 for various applications, such as antibodies and protein quantification on homemade ELISAs and cytokines detection with commercial kits. I was impressed by the machine and software, which were super easy to use, and the design, which was modern and miniaturized. The Byonoy team has done a great job in creating such a user-friendly and innovative device. I also want to mention that I compared the results from Absorbance 96 with those from BioRad reader, and I found a high concordance of more than 98% without compromising robustness. This shows that Absorbance 96 is reliable and accurate, and I am 100% satisfied with the machine and the results.

Great instrument to use inside the anerobic chamber
Study the growth curves of anaerobic bacteria
This is easy to use in the anaerobic chamber and easy to clean. It is good for real time absorbance measurement for observing the growth curves while it's running. We can do kinetics measurements at small time intervals. Cons: We can't run this while it's shaking as the graph shows noise. Also, light is interfering for the absorbance.

Great data from a harsh tropical field environment
Quantification of the carbohydrate content of carnivorous pitcher fluid, performed in field lab in t
I used this plate reader for quantification of carbohydrates in pitcher fluid from carnivorous plants, over the span of three months from a field lab in the tropics. This plate reader was a pleasure to use and it provided publication quality data right from the convenience of our field lab, without having to store and transport sensitive samples. It is small and light enough to be practical to carry in a bag with other field equipment, it runs smoothly powered by a laptop without much impact on the battery life, and it gives reliable data over months of repeated use in a harsh field environment. The accompanying software (downloaded as an app), is straightforward to use and works well. It has options for endpoint and kinetic methods, quantitative and qualitative evaluation of data, and it calculates a standard curve and things, making reading the plate and analyzing the data a breeze. I did have two minor critiques: 1) It would be nice for .csv exports to include fitted standard curve information calculated by the software, and 2) .csv exports include the plate layout information, but it would be nice if they also included the header from the plate setup page. Overall, with several wavelengths to choose from, the overall reliability, portability and ease of use, I would widely recommend this spectrophotometer for field and teaching labs. Truly five stars, great quality.

Easy to use, small foot print
Point of care (Cancer Biomarkers such as sEVs)
The Byonoy machine has proven to be a remarkable and compact tool for protein quantification in my research. Its ease of use, accurate results, and efficient workflow have made it a standout product. The machine sensitivity and specificity were impressive, providing reliable data with minimal variability. Additionally, the exceptional customer support from the Byonoy team further enhanced my experience. I highly recommend the Byonoy to fellow researchers seeking a reliable and user-friendly solution for their protein analysis needs.

Overall great and easy to use product
Fermentation monitoring, enzyme activity determination
We have the Absorbance 96 in addition to our standard microplate reader. For many applications, the much more compact Absorbance 96 device is much easier and more convenient to use. We primarily used the device to measure the optical density of a culture in a fermentation process and obtained reliable results. However, the system is also capable of performing simple colorimetric tests, which we have also applied it for. I would say that the system is well-suited for many applications and can serve as a cost-effective and simple alternative to a standard microplate reader.

Intuitive and Easy to Use
Protein Quantification Using Colorimetric Assays
The Absorbance 96 is an easy to use device that produces reproducible and reliable results. It’s a very simple and beginner friendly device that saves time and doesn’t require complex prior training to get started. The software is intuitive to use, and its compact design makes it easy to move around the workspace. I’m able to connect it to my laptop and I’m therefore, able to develop a more efficient workflow. I use it to get absorbance readings after protein concentration assays E.g., Bradford Assay. The downside would be that I’m only able to use the 96 Co-star plate and the ThermoFisher Clear Bottom 96-well plates. However, it does what it is designed to do and works well for my analysis.

Fantastic for easy, simple absorbance readings with 96-well plates.
Monitoring bacterial growth via OD
This instrument is very easy to set up and use. Plug it into a computer, install software on computer, put the plate in, press a button, and you have OD readings. Very little setup involved and very easy to use. Very small instrument footprint as well (which is especially helpful for us)/

The Absorbance 96 is the only truly portable plate reader in the world. The footprint of the Absorbance 96 is almost as small as the microplate itself, thereby fitting into every lab, saving valuable bench space and providing unprecedented flexibility. Easily transported within or between different laboratories, the Absorbance 96 brings readout to your workspace. Its robust design and USB power supply also make it the perfect tool for field use and mobile laboratories, with a simple USB connection providing both the power supply and access to the analysis software via plug- and-play.
Despite its compact form, the Absorbance 96 delivers precise and accurate results at an affordable price. Its portability enables on-site readout, eliminating the need for sample transport. A variety of available wavelength combinations allows for a wide range of endpoint and kinetic assays like ELISA, protein or cell-based assays.
The Absorbance 96 is the first microplate reader on the market to contain 96 individual detection units. This technology enables simultaneous signal detection, resulting in extremely fast photometric measurements. Without the need to scan across multiple wells, the Absorbance 96 requires no moving parts. In combination with long-life LEDs, the solid state technology provides a maintenance-free user experience and ensures reliable, high quality results.
Our philosophy of intuitive operation is also an integral part of the Absorbance 96 software which is already included in the product packaging. Parting from tradition, the software features a modern, attractive interface with smooth navigation and a logical flow. The Absorbance 96 software is as flexible as the reader itself. It can be used on multiple devices and supports Windows as well as macOS. With plug-and-play technology, simply connect the Absorbance 96 and start your assay.
