Appendix A: Specifications
Thermal specifications for plates used in the instrument apply to flat-bottom plates with
isolated wells. All other plate specifications apply to standard 96-well polystyrene flat-bottom
plates. Performance specifications for cuvette reads apply only to aqueous solutions that
have solute molal concentrations less than 0.4 M.
When you apply pathlength compensation to plate absorbance measurements, agreement
with cuvette absorbance measurements for the same solution requires that the solution
volume in the plate well is between 100 μL and 300 μL.
Note:
Technical specifications are subject to change without notice. Molecular Devices
provides validation documentation for software and hardware, as well as absorbance,
fluorescence, and luminescence detection test tools with its SpectraTest® solutions.
The SpectraTest line of microplate reader validation packages provide automated and
comprehensive validation of a microplate reader's optical performance. See
