How the number of flashes in microplate readers influence measurement results

The ‘number of flashes’ is a setting that is typically displayed by microplate readers for all detection modes that require a light source. Discover why selecting an appropriate number of flashes for your assay ensures reliable and accurate data. Not only does it help to keep coefficients of variation (%CV) and standard deviations low, but it also allows detection time to be reduced while prolonging the lifetime of the light source of your microplate reader.
