Overview
The 800 TS is a compact, filter-based, single-channel absorbance microplate reader. All
models are equipped with a touchscreen interface and support endpoint dual-wavelength
reads from 400-750 nm on standard 6- to 96-well plates. The narrow beam (NB) model
supports 384-well plates. UV models support a measurement range from 340-750 nm.
Some models offer incubation to 50˚C and/or linear plate shaking.
Basic data analysis, reporting, and exporting are provided via the touchscreen. With
optional Gen5 software, kinetic and well area scanning read modes are supported, along
with BioCell and 60 -, 72-, and 96-well Terasaki plates. Gen5 also offers extensive data
analysis and reporting and exporting capabilities. The reader is available in five models.
The filter wheel contains up to five filters and is user accessible. For models with fewer
than five filters, removable plugs are installed in the empty wheel locations.
The 800TS and 800TSI models use a tungsten bulb as their light source. The other
models, 800TSUV, 800TSUVI, and 800TSNB, use a halogen bulb.
