The demands of academic research laboratories for a budget-friendly monochromator-based microplate reader and the ability to measure very low volume samples are answered by BioTek's Epoch Micro -Volume Spectrophotometer System. Combining the Epoch™ Microplate Spectrophotometer and the Take3™ Micro-Volume Plate, the result is a system that’s designed to allow the scientist to run a variety of assays, in a variety of sample vessels and volume ranges. One System. More Choices. More Assays. * Quantify up to sixteen 2 ?L volumes of DNA, RNA and proteins * Obtain quick 260/280 ratios in 2 ?L samples or in a microplate * Select individual wavelengths from 200 – 999 nm without purchasing filters * Perform rapid qualitative or quantitative analysis in microplates from 6- to 384-wells * Save space on the benchtop with its very small footprint * Monitor cell growth using the Epoch’s well scanning capability * Run spectral scans of 2 ?L samples, or samples contained in a microplate, standard cuvette or the patented BioCell quartz Cuvette * Measure kinetic rates of reaction * Validate the miniaturization of your assay…from a full cuvette to a microplate to a microvolume…on one system * Run multiplex assays quickly and easily
