Expert Plus Series |
|
The
new standard for stand-alone microplate reader. |
|
-
The Expert Plus microplate reader is
a stand alone product that combines a large graphics display
with easy to use on-board software, making it ideal for use
in any laboratory performing ELISA and other microplate based
colorimetric assays. It has both exciting styling and design
that place it at the forefront of its class.
- It can perform single and dual end
point measurements at any two wavelengths between 400 and 800nm
(340 and 800 nm for Expert Plus UV). Quantitative, qualitative
and kinetics assays can be easily defined and stored in the
non-volatile memory. The method definitions can be also performed
by means of the delivered PC-based simulation program. Up to
100 sets of measured data can be stored and recalled for later
evaluation. If preferred, Expert Plus can be controlled by any
of our PC software packages.
- Combining high performance - an 8-channel
digital control system and 5 second read time - with ease of
use - large display, easy accessible filter wheel and front
loading - the Expert Plus is a new concept of microplate reader
that will grace any laboratory.
- The 240 x 128 pixel high resolution,
graphical, liquid crystal display provides the user with set
up parameters and experimental results and the keypad is a hard
wearing, spill-proof membrane. Navigating around the menu structure
is simple.
- Method
definition Once the option to define a method has been
selected, graphical display boxes prompt for the entry of the
test definition in a logical sequence. The location of controls,
standards and samples are easily entered in the graphical plate
representation. Formulae for transformation, validation and
cut-off calculations are established with the help of predefined
functions. Once defined the method is simply added to the list
(120 methods can be stored).
- Curve-fit
functions All common curve-fit methods like four-parameter,
Spline, linear-, cubic-, and parabolic regression as well as
point-to-point can be selected from the menu. The quick-button
allow fast definition of diluted standards.
- Qualitative
evaluation Cut-off results can be calculated from raw,
transformed and quantitative data
- Digital
light control The light
intensity for all wavelengths is stored during calibration and
this allows the system to optimize itself to prevent any drift
away from the optimum operating range during measurement. This
feature also detects the ageing of the lamp and can advise the
appropriate time for change and pre-empt failure during a measurement
run. Another benefit of this feature is that any wrongly inserted
or defective filter will be detected.
- Output
to printer or serial port
Expert Plus has a wide range of printer drivers included in
its software, including many variants of HP DeskJet, HPLaserJet,
Epson Stylus etc. The results are output in a format that makes
interpretation and analysis easy. The results can be also sent
out through the serial port.
- Control
by PC-based software Although Expert Plus is a stand-alone
instrument for colorimetric microplate applications, it can
also interface with a PC using DigiRead, MikroWin or Kim software
for more demanding data reduction requirements.
