SmartReader™ Multimode Features

Expand your discovery horizon with the SmartReader™ Multimode, an advanced microplate reader engineered to elevate your research. This cutting-edge instrument is designed to meet the diverse needs of modern life science laboratories, combining high-performance optical systems with user-friendly features. Whether you are conducting routine assays or engaging in groundbreaking research, the SmartReader Multimode provides the flexibility and precision you need.

The SmartReader Multimode stands out with its comprehensive suite of capabilities and intuitive design. Let's delve into its key features and applications:

Key Features:

• Multimode Detection: The SmartReader Multimode supports three types of measurements—absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence. This versatility allows you to perform a wide range of assays using a single instrument, streamlining your workflow and saving valuable lab space.
• Intuitive Interface: The large 10-inch color touchscreen makes programming and operation straightforward and user-friendly. The intuitive interface guides you through assay setup and processing, reducing the learning curve and increasing efficiency.
• Standalone System: The SmartReader Multimode is designed for standalone operation, eliminating the need for an external computer. However, for labs that prefer enhanced control and data management, optional PC software is available, ensuring compliance with FDA CFR Part 11 regulations.
• Optical Excellence: Equipped with a monochromator-based system, the SmartReader covers UV to visible absorbance (200–1000 nm). The filter module system handles fluorescence assays with high sensitivity, and the advanced PMT detector ensures precise luminescence measurements. These high-performance optical systems guarantee reliable and accurate results for your assays.
• Plate Compatibility: This microplate reader processes standard 96-well plates and is compatible with 6, 12, 24, 48, and 384-well plates. Such flexibility allows you to design experiments that fit your specific research needs without worrying about compatibility issues.
• Built-in Plate Shaker and Incubator: The built-in plate shaker offers linear, orbital, and double-orbital shaking modes, ensuring thorough mixing of samples. The incubator, capable of top heating from ambient +4°C to 45°C, prevents condensation and maintains optimal conditions for your assays.
• Automatic Calibration: Upon startup, the SmartReader Multimode performs a self-diagnostic test followed by automatic calibration of the entire system. This feature ensures consistent and reliable results across a wide range of assays, providing peace of mind and enhancing the reproducibility of your experiments.

Applications:

• Absorbance: The SmartReader Multimode excels in absorbance applications, making it ideal for:
  • ELISA Assays: Accurately quantifying the presence of antigens or antibodies in your samples.
  • Colorimetric Assays: Including popular methods such as Bradford and Lowry for protein quantification.
  • Enzyme Kinetics: Monitoring the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions in real-time.
  • Spectral Scanning: Analyzing the absorbance spectrum of your samples from 200 to 1000 nm.
  • DNA & RNA Analysis: Quantifying nucleic acids with high precision.
• Fluorescence: Fluorescence applications are enhanced by the SmartReader’s advanced filter modules:
  • Three included filter modules provide common excitation and emission wavelengths, with additional modules available to suit specific assays.
  • The incorporation of dichroic mirrors and narrow band-pass optical filters ensures increased detection sensitivity and high light transmission, allowing for precise fluorescence measurements.
• Luminescence: The SmartReader Multimode is highly capable in luminescence detection:
  • It can process both flash and glow assays, making it versatile for various luminescent applications.
  • The advanced PMT (photomultiplier tube) enhances sensitivity for weak signals, prevents over-saturation of strong signals, and provides an ideal detection range for all common luminescence applications.

Data Management:

• Export Options: Data can be easily exported as .XLS or .CSV files via the included USB flash drive, FTP server, or optional PC software. This flexibility ensures seamless integration into your data analysis workflow.
• PC Software: The optional SmartReader PC Software allows for remote programming and operation of the instrument via a cable connection. Data from the instrument is automatically uploaded to the connected PC for further analyses. Both a Research version for academic use and an FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant version are available, ensuring the software meets your regulatory requirements.

The SmartReader™ Multimode is your comprehensive solution for high-precision, multi-mode detection in life science research. Experience seamless operation, reliable performance, and enhanced flexibility with this innovative microplate reader, designed to support and advance your research endeavors.
