Multi-Mode Microplate Reader YR06673
Design and Technology (or Functionality)
Stands out due to its modular and upgradeable architecture, allowing laboratories to scale their capabilities as needed. Key innovations include:- Xenon Flash Lamp: Provides a high-intensity full spectrum for stable detection across all wavelengths.
- Multimode Optical System: Equipped with PD (Photodiode) detectors for absorbance and high-performance PMT (Photomultiplier Tube) for luminescence and fluorescence.
- Wavelength Flexibility: Allows selection from 200 to 1000 nm, with a wavelength accuracy of 2 nm.
- Modular Accessories: Offers a range of special detection accessories that are modular and upgradeable to optimize the detection experience even after initial purchase.
- Rapid Reading: Capable of processing a 96-well plate in less than 15 seconds in fast mode, significantly optimizing laboratory productivity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Which reading modes are included in the standard Feyond-A300 model? The standard model includes Absorbance (200-1000 nm), Luminescence, and Fluorescence (top reading), covering the majority of current biological assays.
- Is it possible to change the fluorescence filters? Yes, the unit comes with 3 standard filter groups (EX485/EM530, EX523/EM564, EX624/EM692), but these can be replaced with other wavelengths depending on your specific assay requirements.
- What resolution does it offer for absorbance measurements? It provides a resolution of 0.0001 OD, allowing for the detection of extremely subtle changes in the optical density of samples.
Advantages and Disadvantages (Pros and Cons)
Advantages:- Total Versatility: Three detection modes integrated into one compact device.
- High Sensitivity: Luminescence detection limit of 15 amol/well and 1 pM for fluorescence.
- Processing Speed: Ideal for high-volume laboratories due to reduced reading times.
- Modularity: Upgrade capability that protects your initial investment.
- Learning Curve: As a multimode device, it requires training to fully master the analysis software features.
- Weight: Due to high-precision optical components, it is a robust device that requires a fixed and stable location.
Field Use and Recommendations
The YR06673 performs exceptionally well in pharmaceutical research centers, academic hospitals, and biotechnology laboratories. It is highly recommended for cell viability assays, nucleic acid and protein quantification (DNA/RNA), and enzyme activity tests. Pro Tip: To obtain the best results in fluorescence, it is recommended to use the condition optimization mode to adjust the detection limit to 1 pM. Additionally, perform periodic calibrations of the xenon lamp to ensure a wavelength repeatability of 0.2 nm.Technical Specifications
