Fluorescent Plate Reader

Microplate readers are a reliable choice for many labs looking for a fast assessment of enzymatic activity or nucleic acid and protein quantification. With applications in pharmaceuticals, biomanufacturing, and many more, these instruments can be used to detect absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence or a combination of those with a multimode meter. Fluorescence plate readers offer precise measurement of any fluorescence intensity assay.

Things to consider when purchasing a fluorescence plate reader include desired throughput, if a single or multimode plate reader would be needed for current or possibly future experiments, the types of assays being performed, ease-of-use, and price point.
