96-well microplate reader; temperature-independent method for pathlength correction.
Description

The standard for UV-visible microplate reader absorbance, providing ultrafast, full spectral range detection for cuvettes and 96-well microplates, with the only temperature-independent method for pathlength correction.

The optical system of SpectraMax Plus Microplate Reader is built around a monochromator, which allows for selection of up to six wavelengths at a time for absorbance detection in the UV-visible wavelength range (190 nm - 1000 nm). Narrow bandwidths deliver increased measurement accuracy and linearity over the widest range of assays, including DNA quantitation in the UV range.

Using the patented PathCheck® Pathlength Measurement Technology, the SpectraMax Plus Microplate Reader transforms each well in a microplate to a fixed optical path length cuvette. This temperature-independent normalization corrects for varying well volumes and can eliminate standard curves by allowing the calculation of concentrations directly from the absorbance with a known extinction coefficient, as exemplified with nucleic acid and protein quantification.
