Multimode Microplate Reader

Like conventional microplate readers, multimode microplate readers detect reaction signals from microtiter plates in order to perform assays such as ELISA, protein detection, and drug screening assays. Unlike conventional plate readers, multimode microplate readers are able to perform two or more forms of detection allowing a single piece of equipment to perform a wider range of assays. This can increase throughput and efficiency, thus saving time and space in the lab. Important things to consider when purchasing a multimode microplate reader are the particular combinations of assays desired, ease of use, ability to add or remove functionality, and the unit price.
