Biotek PowerWave XS2 Benchtop Absorbance Microplate Reader with Temperature Control and Shaker
Product Description
The Biotek PowerWave XS2 is a benchtop, single-channel automated microplate reader designed for high-precision absorbance measurements across 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-well microplates. Equipped with a xenon flash lamp and monochromator wavelength selector, it offers continuous wavelength selection from 200 to 999 nm (±2 nm accuracy) in 1-nm increments, eliminating the need for interference filters. This reader supports multiple read modes including endpoint, kinetic, multiwavelength, and spectral scanning, making it versatile for diverse assay requirements.
Key technical features:
- Absorbance range from 0.000 to 4.000 OD with superior optical density measurement capability
- Unique 4-Zone temperature control adjustable from 4°C above ambient up to 50°C, ensuring uniformity essential for kinetic enzyme assays and molecular diagnostics
- Programmable microplate shaker with low, medium, high, and variable speed settings with adjustable durations for thorough sample mixing
- Supports normal, rapid, and ultra-fast sweep reading speeds
- Computer-controlled via Biotek’s Gen5 software, enabling comprehensive data acquisition, reduction, and analysis
- Compatible with Biotek’s BioStack Microplate Stacker for automated, high-throughput workflows
Applications include ELISA assays, kinetic enzyme assays, nucleic acid quantitation, protein analysis, and other critical bioprocessing tasks. This microplate reader is widely adopted in biotechnology research, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, offering essential performance for accurate measurement in live-cell assays, fluorescence analysis, and synthetic biology workflows.
