SpectraMax ABS series plate reader

SpectraMax ® The ABS microporous reading machine combines the high cost-effectiveness of a filter type reading machine with the flexibility of a grating system.

The SpectraMax ® The ABS Plus microplate reader can be used for both colorimetric dishes and microplates on the same instrument. Use any standard colorimetric dish to read a single sample or use 96 and 384 well plates to read up to 384 samples on a single well plate. For higher sample throughput, both reading machines can easily integrate fully automated systems to meet sample processing needs.

Experimental examples

In genetics and molecular biology, quantification of nucleic acids and proteins is a necessary upstream test for many complex experiments. We can use Lambert Beer's law to directly calculate the concentration values of large molecular substances to be detected, such as nucleic acids and proteins. However, the theoretical basis is that the optical path (path) must be 1cm in order to obtain concentration results directly through OD values. Microporous plates are limited by their height, so the optical path cannot reach 1cm. SpectraMax ABS Plus, as MD's newly launched full wavelength light absorption microplate reader in 2018, covers the detection wavelength range of ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions, and is compatible with the functions of standard 1cm spectrophotometers and microplate readers. Its patented PathCheck function can calibrate samples in microplates with any volume of 96 or 384 wells without being affected by temperature changes. OD at 1cm optical path length Value, equivalent to rapid detection by a 96 channel or 384 channel spectrophotometer.
