BioTek 800TSUV Absorbance Microplate Reader with UV Range and Temperature Control

The BioTek 800TSUV is a compact, high-performance *absorbance microplate reader* specifically engineered for versatile laboratory applications including ELISA, protein quantification, enzyme kinetics, and cell-based assays. Featuring an expanded wavelength range from 340 nm to 750 nm, this unit enables UV absorbance assays critical for nucleic acid, NADH/NADPH, and other UV-dependent measurements, making it well-suited for molecular diagnostics and biotechnology workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Light source: Halogen bulb ensuring broad spectral coverage and stable absorbance measurements.
• Temperature control: Incubation range of 8°C above ambient up to 50°C with ±0.5°C stability and uniformity at 37°C, enabling precise environmental regulation for live-cell and enzymatic assays.
• Measurement modes: Supports endpoint, kinetic, and sweep read modes, facilitating enzyme kinetics studies and high-throughput applications in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research.
• Measurement range and resolution: Optical density detection from 0.000 to 4.000 OD (normal/rapid at 340–399 nm) and up to 3.000 OD in sweep mode (400–750 nm) with resolution down to 0.0001 OD using Gen5 software.
• Accuracy and repeatability: Maintains high precision with ≤±2.5% variability in UV range and ≤±1.0% in visible spectrum, essential for molecular cloning workflows and quantitative biochemistry assays.
• Throughput: Efficient measurement speeds—e.g., 39 seconds for a 96-well plate at single wavelength normal read—supporting high-throughput screening demands in drug discovery and biomanufacturing pipelines.
• User interface: Integrated touchscreen controller allows standalone operation with onboard protocol storage; optional Gen5 software enhances data analysis, experimental design, and reporting capabilities.
