The 800 TS Absorbance Reader is an affordable, high quality microplate reader for assays in 6- to 384-well formats. The color touchscreen provides a visual user interface, making programming simple. The USB drive allows convenient data export. The onboard software includes “quick read” and custom protocols, with results viewed immediately after measure, followed by export to USB or printing via the available compact printer. The software also stores a history of programmed assays and recent plate readings for instant recall. The 800 TS can be configured to include temperature control and shaking, ideal for assays like short- or long-term kinetics, which is enabled under computer control via the available Gen5 Software. The 800 TS, used alongside the 50 TS Washer, makes a great, affordable system to automate many application workflows, including immunoassays, cytotoxicity, enzyme assays, growth curves and more.
