SmartReader 96

The Accuris SmartReader 96, models MR9600 and MR9600-T are welcome additions to any lab that is routinely measuring concentration or absorbance in 96 well plates. The 7-inch touch screen, intuitive software, and graphical interface make these instruments easy to use as a standalone reader (a separate computer and additional software are not required).

The SmartReader 96 comes complete with 4 popular filters: 405,450,492,630nm and twenty-six additional filters are available separately to cover a full range from 340 to 750nm. The integrated filter wheel allows up to 8 filters to be loaded at once, and filters can be selected during programming

Use the touch screen, or connect a mouse for programming and operation. The menu interface allows the user to choose the wavelength filter, set shaking parameters, enter details of the plate layout, and also choose the details for the reading protocol and data calculations.

Model MR9600-T offers precise temperature control for the incubation of plates during processing. Temperature can be maintained at 5°C above ambient to 50°C.

Up to two filters can be used for 2 measurements of the sample plate, for calculated comparisons. Kinetic calculations can be performed by setting multiple readings.

The SmartReader 96 is a convenient stand-alone reader, all software and the programming system are incorporated into the electronics. However, a convenient USB port on the side allows quick and easy saving of data files to a USB drive, and the universal .csv files can then be shared or transferred to a computer for storage or further processing. A data port can be used for connecting a computer or basic printer.

The plate layout interface allows for a quick and intuitive setup of a plate’s well contents. The display shows a graphical representation of the 96 well plates, and the user can label each well as required for “known standard”, “unknown sample”, “blank well”, “QC control well”, “negative control”, “positive control”, or “empty”. The interface allows highlighting and labeling multiple wells to save time.

Measurement data is available immediately on the screen after reading, as well as interpretations, calculated analysis, and curve fittings.

Newly available PC software is compatible with Windows computers for programming and controlling the MR9600 remotely.

Research requires flexibility – the SmartWasher 96 provides it. Full plates, partial plates, and strips with U, V, C, or flat bottoms are accepted by this fully automated washer. Multiple aspiration point settings allow for minimal residual liquid in the wells after aspiration. All parameters, including dispense volume, suction time, soak and shake cycles, and shaking speed are easily programmed using the large 4.3” LCD display and keypad. Up to 100 wash protocols can be stored on board the SmartWasher 96 and recalled when needed, or transferred between machines with a flash drive.

The washer comes equipped with 2 wash bottles, 1 rinse bottle, and a waste bottle. All have sensors that alert the user when the solutions are low, or in the case of the waste bottle when it needs to be emptied. An auto-rinse function primes the dispensing tube and washes heads to prevent cross-contamination and clogs.

8- and 12-channel manifolds (purchased separately) accommodate plates in either orientation. A transparent, acrylic shield surrounds the wash area, allowing for visualization of the plate. Should a spill or leak occur, the beveled spill well ensures that the liquid is extracted immediately to avoid cross-contamination.

The SmartWasher 96 is the perfect partner for the SmartReader 96 Microplate Absorbance Reader as well as other popular readers.
