Accuris SmartReader™ UV-Vis Microplate Reader

The SmartReader™ UV-Vis (models MR9610 and MR9611) is designed for ease of use, providing quick results, and is ideal for labs with multiple users. It features a large touch screen for fast setup and modification of protocols, supporting 96-well and 384-well plates. It ensures rapid measurement and data storage. It is perfect for applications such as ELISA, Bradford Lowry, and nucleic acid and protein quantification, offering exceptional accuracy and performance.
The SmartReader™ UV-Vis uses a monochromator-based optical system, providing precise wavelength selection (200nm-1000nm) without needing filters. It’s ideal for ELISA, Bradford Lowry, and nucleic acid/protein quantification, and supports Endpoint, Kinetic, and Spectral Scanning assays. Features include controlled plate shaking and incubation, with temperature settings from +5°C to 45°C. This enables optimal results for enzyme kinetics and bacterial growth. The system offers efficient data storage, fast measurement speeds, and reliable performance across various scientific applications.
The SmartReader™ UV-Vis offers controlled plate shaking and incubation to optimize test results. The shaking speed is adjustable with timed and pulsed options, useful for kinetic assays. The linear motion ensures even mixing of all samples in both 96 and 384-well plates. The temperature can be controlled from +5°C to 45°C, allowing for enzyme kinetics and bacterial growth testing.

Main features:

☑️ User-friendly interface: 10-inch color touch screen for easy navigation and standalone operation without a computer.
☑️ Wavelength range: From 200 to 1000 nm with a monochromator, no filters needed.
☑️ Optical system: High accuracy with dual photoelectric detectors for reliable measurements.
☑️ Temperature control: From +5°C to 45°C for enzyme kinetics and bacterial growth.
☑️ Fast measurement speed: Less than 6 seconds for 96-well plates.
☑️ Data storage: 16GB memory for over 10,000 results.
☑️ Connectivity: 3 USB ports for PC, printers, and flash drives.
☑️ Detection modes: Supports Endpoint, Kinetic, and Spectral Scanning.
☑️ Measurement accuracy: ±2 nm in wavelength and linearity R2 ≥ 0.999.
High Throughput Capability
The SmartReader™ UV-Vis is designed for efficient multi-sample processing, supporting both 96-well and 384-well plates for high-density screening. The plate layout interface allows quick setup and labeling of multiple wells (e.g., “known standard”, “unknown sample”, “QC control”). Controlled plate shaking and incubation optimize results, with adjustable shaking speeds and temperature settings from +5°C to 45°C. This enables precise kinetic analysis, enzyme kinetics, and bacterial growth testing. The system ensures even mixing with linear motion for both plate types.
