The Agilent BioTek Epoch is a monochromator-based UV-Vis microplate spectrophotometer engineered for high-throughput quantitative analysis in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics. It supports 6- to 384-well microplates, enabling versatile applications including nucleic acid quantification, ELISA, cytotoxicity assays, and micro-volume measurements with the optional Take3 plate. Featuring a wide wavelength range from 200 to 999 nm, it delivers precise absorbance data with a resolution of 0.0001 OD over a measuring range of 0 to 4.0 OD. The photodiode detector and monochromator optics ensure accurate spectral selectivity without filter limitations, critical for advanced molecular biology and synthetic biology research workflows.
Controlled via the Gen5 software interface, the system offers streamlined programming and robust data analysis, essential for bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics in biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Measurement speed is optimized for efficiency, completing 96 wells in 15 seconds and 384 wells in 31 seconds, supporting rapid throughput in clinical and research laboratory environments. The device operates with a power supply of 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, and weighs approximately 7.08 kg (15.6 lbs), making it a practical instrument for laboratory bench space.
This spectrophotometer is widely used in biotechnology applications such as gene editing validation, synthetic biology experiments, and fluorescence-based assays, providing reliable absorbance measurement necessary for critical biomanufacturing quality control and diagnostics. The BioTek Epoch’s compatibility with diverse microplate formats and micro-volume assay capability makes it an indispensable tool for researchers and professionals in molecular cloning, cell imaging, and biomedical engineering workflows.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
