917 Apollo ELISA Reader
917 Apollo ELISA Reader
RELIABLE ELISA AND ABSORBANCE ANALYSIS IN JUST 6 SECONDS
The Apollo ELISA Reader is an intuitive and reliable filter-based microplate reader that can be used for a wide variety of research and routine applications. The system has been designed to help you accelerate your research combining fast measurement of 96-well plates in just 6 seconds with intuitive 7-inch colour touchscreen stand-alone operation.
FEATURES FOR MORE APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY.
- Flexible 8-position filter wheel: The optical filter wheel of the Apollo is equipped with 4 pre- installed filters at 405, 450, 492 and 630 nm. There are 4 additional slots available to meet your assay- specific requirements. Additional filters from 340 – 750 nm are easy to install and can be ordered as needed.
- Optional printer: Documentation of the results in a paper format is enabled via an optional thermal printer.
- Expand your application reach further: The system is equipped with a built-in shaker with speed selection as standard. The I-model with incubator reaches incubation temperatures up to 50 °C to enable your temperature-sensitive assays. Apollo benefits at a glance
- Wide variety of applications: With its wavelength range from 340 to 750 nm it is ideal for ELISA, cytotoxicity assays, protein colorimetric assays, nucleic acid quantification (DISCHE assay), endotoxin assays and more.
- Fast measurement: Read your samples in just 6 seconds (fast mode).
- Intuitive operation: 7‘’ colour touchscreen and preprogrammed protocols simplify operation of the system.
- Trust your data: Accuracy of ± 1 % or ± 0.005 OD (0-3 OD) whichever is greater (@405 nm)
- Large dynamic range: The system´s dynamic range of 4.0 OD is large enoug to cover any assay´s requirements.
RESULTS YOU CAN TRUST
- Designed to perform: Precise mechanics and high-quality optics guarantee excellent repeatability of measurements. With an accuracy of „± 1 % or ± 0.005 OD (0-3 OD) whichever is greater (@405 nm) the system delivers results you can trust.
- Validation tools: We provide an Absorbance Test Plate to help you check and confirm the performance of your reader over time
INTUITIVE STAND-ALONE OPERATION
The intuitive 7‘’ colour touchscreen operation enables you to quickly set up your plate and analyse your samples without the need for a separate computer.
The laborious up/down arrow keypads operation of other instruments has been replaced by modern tap and drag operation for quick programming and simple operation.
You can see your data right on the screen or simply transfer your results at a single touch to a USB flash drive. Advanced data handling capabilities of the onboard software include curve fitting, kinetics and cut-off analysis
