Plate Reader Tecan Infinite M200 Pro

Overview

Two Tecan Infinite M200 Pro plate readers are available, each capable of absorbance and fluorescence, and one with an added luminescence and injection module.

The units can perform single wavelength measurements and/or wavelength scans, multiple reads per well, while plates are exposed to varying temperature (ambient +5°C – 42°C) and shaking (linear or orbital).

It is compatible with a variety of microplates, including 96 and 384 sizes, which may be loaded with or without the cover.

Additional components may include an injection module, and Nanoquant® Plate for the quantification and fluorescent labeling efficiency of small volumes (2 ul) of nucleic acids and proteins.

Plate reader commands are programmed in i-control® software, while data acquisition is through Microsoft® Excel.
