Microplate Readers

Microplate readers are essential laboratory instruments used for the quantitative measurement of biological and chemical samples in microplate format, typically 96, 384, or 1536 wells. These devices utilise various detection methods, such as absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence, to analyse samples for applications including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), cell viability assays, and drug screening. Microplate readers enable high-throughput analysis, allowing researchers to process multiple samples simultaneously, which significantly enhances efficiency and productivity in laboratories. Many models feature advanced functionalities, such as multi-wavelength detection, automated liquid handling, and data analysis software, making them versatile tools for various research disciplines. By providing rapid and accurate measurements, microplate readers play a crucial role in advancing scientific research and development.
