Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer | UV-Vis 200–999 nm
Elevate your laboratory's analytical capabilities with the Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer. This highly advanced instrument acts as a premium monochromator based microplate reader, completely eliminating the need for individual optical filters. It enables researchers to select any wavelength between 200 to 999 nm in precise 1 nm steps for robust spectral scanning, endpoint, and kinetic assays.
Designed to accommodate standard 6- to 384-well plates, this UV-Vis microplate spectrophotometer also integrates flawlessly with the Take3 micro-volume plate. This transforms the system into a high-precision microvolume nucleic acid quantification plate reader using samples as small as 2 µL. Powered by an advanced Xenon flash lamp and Gen5 data analysis software, it guarantees automated pathlength correction and exceptional photometric accuracy.
