Description
The Accuris™ MR9611 SmartReader™ UV-Vis Microplate Absorbance Reader with Cuvette Port brings monochromator-based, full-spectrum absorbance measurement to the lab bench in a fast, easy-to-use stand-alone instrument designed for busy, multi-user labs. A large 10-inch color touch screen command center makes it quick to set up new protocols and to modify and run existing ones — no PC or special software is required, and data transfers to a flash drive by USB.
The MR9611 model adds a dedicated port for standard cuvette spectroscopy, so single samples can be read in a cuvette as well as in microplates.
Because wavelength selection is made by a monochromator, no filters are needed: any wavelength from 200 to 1000 nm can be selected in 1 nm steps. That range makes the SmartReader™ UV-Vis suitable not only for routine ELISA, Bradford, Lowry and turbidity assays but also for nucleic acid and protein quantitation, with endpoint, kinetic and spectral scanning modes.
Built for throughput, the reader accepts standard 96-well plates and 384-well plates for high-density screening. The graphical plate-layout interface lets users label wells as standards, unknowns, blanks, QC, positive or negative controls, or empty, and highlight multiple wells at once to save time. Linear plate shaking at three intensities — timed or pulsed, before or between kinetic reads — plus incubation from ambient +5°C to 45°C optimize assays such as enzyme kinetics and bacterial growth.
For micro-volume work, the optional SmartDrop™ Accessory Plate (MR9610-SDP) measures samples of less than 0.5 µl — up to 16 at a time — ideal for checking nucleic acid concentration and purity before next-generation sequencing, or protein concentrations.

- ELISA and immunoassays
