LB 913 Apollo 11 Absorbance Microplate Reader for 96 well microplates, including PhotoRead software package
Absorbance Microplate Reader
The Apollo 11 is an intuitive and easy to use ELISA reader for all levels of experience. It is simple to use and your reliable reader for all common ELISA assays, as well as enzyme activity monitoring and protein quantification assays in 96-well format, thanks to its set of pre-installed filters and applications.
ELISA readers are an essential tool in many laboratories
ELISA readers have become a commodity in most laboratories. ELISA assays combine the specificity of an antibody with the sensitivity of enzyme assays, giving rise to a wide variety of applications – including clinical, forensic and food research. In addition, ELISA readers can be used to quantify many other types of colorimetric assays, including protein quantification using the classic Lowry, Bradford or BCA methods, and others.
For ELISA and most other colorimetric applications, the Apollo 11 is the ELISA reader of choice.
HIGHLIGHTS
Reliable ELISA results
Precise mechanics, quality optics and the auto-control guarantee an excellent repeatability of measurements. In addition, the Apollo 11 ELISA Reader performs auto-check and auto-calibration of the optics and electronics before every measurement. And, last but not least, like all Berthold Technologies instruments, the Apollo 11 comes to your laboratory checked against a QC test plate. With this reassurance you are able to work with accurate, traceable and comparable results.
Long-life LED light source
Expensive lamp replacements and resulting downtimes belong to the past. Our ELISA reader uses long-life LEDs as light source, ensuring the instrument is ready to work, always.
Convenient Software options for ELISA and more
The Apollo 11 ELISA Reader is equipped with PhotoRead, an intuitive and easy to use software that meets many different application needs, including ELISA. For users requiring curve fitting or other advanced features, the MikroWin software is available. It offers:
- Advanced curve fitting, including 4PL
- Quantitative analysis with flexible threshold conditions
- Additional plate formats: 12, 24 and 48-well, in addition to 96-well microplates.
- Compliance with CFR 21 part 11
