Microplate Readers
Microplate readers are laboratory instruments that measure optical signals from samples arranged in multiwell plates.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Microplate reader, also known as plate reader or microplate photometers, are instruments which are used to detect biological, chemical or physical events of samples in microtiter plates. Microplate readers are widely used in research, drug discovery, bioassay validation, quality control and manufacturing processes in the hospitals, pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry and academic organizations.
Absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence use different excitation and detection arrangements. Multimode instruments combine selected methods rather than every possible assay.
Sensitivity and measurement speed depend on assay conditions and settings. Plate geometry, mixing and temperature control can affect the result.
What turns activity into demand
Microplate readers measure assay signals, with detection mode and plate compatibility defining useful coverage.
The commercial boundary
Separate readers from assay kits, plates and complete laboratory automation platforms.
