The Biochrom Asys UVM340 is a PC-controlled, monochromator-based absorbance reader ideal for multi-user labs running a variety of assays including those that require spectral and linear scanning. The monochromator system means any wavelength can be measured.
Features and Benefits
No need for filters! The monochromator enables any wavelength to be selected for maximum flexibility both now and in the future.
Shaking, ensures complete mixing of solutions, cells to stay in suspension and coloured solutions to be homogenized
Linear scanning, enables verification of agglutination and coagulation studies to be performed
Spectral scanning enables contamination detection, peak absorbance detection and product formation studies to be performed
Wavelength range from 340 nm to 800 nm enables a wide range of assays to be performed
Automatic performance verification ensures accuracy of data
Plate formats from 12 - 96 well can be used enabling flexibility in application type
Single channel system avoids restrictions imposed by multi-channel systems
Low profile, self-centering plate carrier and front loading allows easy integration into automated systems.
Choice of software packages
Software Two software programs are supplied as standard with the UVM340. DigiRead is used for single or dual point absorbance measurements. ScanPlus is used for wavescans as well as single and dual point absorbance measurements.
Applications
• Standard absorbance assays including: endpoint and total protein assays (BCA, Lowry, Bradford) • ELISA assays • Cell-based assays requiring shaking where cells need to stay in solution • Assays measuring the changes of absorbance of NADH at 340 nm • Contamination detection, peak absborbance detection and product formation using spectral scanning • Verification of agglutination and coagulation studies where reading are required across the well using linear scanning • Multi-user labs where users are performing many assays requiring the instrument to be able to run at many different
