Understanding Microplate Readers and Their Applications
Microplate readers, also known as microplate photometers, are analytical devices used to measure the intensity of light in microplate wells. They are crucial for experiments involving absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence detection across multiple sample types. Typical applications include drug discovery, clinical diagnostics, molecular biology assays, and environmental testing.
- Detection modes: absorbance, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, and luminescence.
- Microplate formats: commonly 96-well and 384-well plates, with some readers supporting higher density plates such as 1536-well.
- Key specifications: sensitivity, dynamic range, speed, wavelength options, and compatibility with various assay chemistries.
- Automation compatibility: many readers can be integrated into robotic systems for high-throughput screening.
QuestPair offers a selection of second-hand and refurbished microplate readers suited for diverse laboratory needs, providing cost-effective options without sacrificing quality.
