ELx808 Multi-channel Microplate Absorbance Reader

The ELx808™ series of multi-channel microplate absorbance readers for fast measurements, such as kinetics, offers the tightest specifications of any filter-based microplate reader; precise, accurate and repeatable.

A wide range of available absorbance filters make these instruments suitable for most 96-well microplate applications.

The ELx808UV has an extended wavelength range and will read from 340 to 750nm.

With powerful on-board software, including kinetics functions, the ELx808 can be used standalone for many applications, but its capabilities can be further expanded for more sophisticated applications using Gen5™ Windows-based software.

Further features include:

Extensive on-board data analysis including:
- data transformation formulae
- assay and control validation
- curve fitting options; linear, 4-P, 2-P, cubic, quadratic, cubic spline, point-to-point
- Multiple assays per plate
Fast kinetics
- measurements with intervals as short as 6 seconds
- Kinetic rate R² or onset time reported without the need for PC software
Linear well scanning for agglutination determinations
4-Zone™ temperature control to 50°C for improved reproducibility and minimal condensation effects
Programmable and variable shaking
Superior optical design incorporating staggered optics to eliminate channel-to-channel crosstalk
Robotic compatibility option for high throughput applications
