MBI Evolution Microplate Reader (340-750nm)
Why Choose the MBI Evolution Microplate Reader?
When your lab needs a reliable 96-well plate reader, the MBI Evolution delivers precision, speed, and flexibility. This standalone microplate reader reads a full 96-well plate in under 6 seconds, making it one of the most efficient absorbance microplate readers in its class.
Unlike complex multi-mode systems, the MBI Evolution focuses on what most researchers need: fast, accurate absorbance detection across the UV-Vis spectrum. With four standard filters pre-installed (405, 450, 492, and 630 nm) and 26 additional filter options available, you can customize the system for virtually any colorimetric or ELISA protocol.
Key Features of the MBI Evolution Absorbance Plate Reader
- Broad Wavelength Range: 340–750 nm coverage for UV-Vis absorbance applications
- 8-Position Filter Wheel: Switch between wavelengths automatically — no manual filter changes
- 7-Inch Touchscreen: 800×480 pixel display with optional mouse support for easy programming
- Dual Measurement Mode: Use up to two filters per plate for calculated comparisons and kinetic studies
- Dynamic Shaking: Three programmable speeds (3.5 Hz, 4.7 Hz, 7.0 Hz) for optimal sample mixing
- Standalone Operation: Onboard software with curve fitting and real-time results — no PC required
- Visual Plate Layout: Graphical 96-well interface for labeling standards, samples, blanks, and controls
- Large Storage: Save 200 programs and 100,000 test records internally
- Flexible Connectivity: USB ports for PC, printer, mouse, and flash drive export
