The iMark microplate absorbance reader offers fast reading speeds, extensive onboard software capabilities, a preprogrammed validation protocol and a built-in printer in a compact, lightweight unit.
The iMark™ Microplate Absorbance Reader, with a wavelength range of 400–750 nm, is an economical, high-performance solution for a wide range of applications, including immunoassays with colorimetric substrates, such as ELISA, and protein assays such as Bradford and Lowry. The instrument can be used as a stand-alone reader or be controlled by a PC or Mac with Microplate Manager® 6 Software
Compatible with different types of 96-well microplates (flat, U-, V-bottom) and 8- or 12-well strip plates; maximum plate height: 16 mm
Features and Benefits of the iMark Reader Onboard Software
Wide applicability for life science and clinical laboratories
Programmable kinetic reading
Security login that allows locking and unlocking of key protocol settings by the administrator
Generous memory capacity for protocol creation and storage
Comprehensive curve-fit selections
Extensive reporting functions
Preprogrammed protocols for the Checkmark™ Reader performance verification kit, to validate the IQ/OQ/PQ of the iMark Reader in compliance with GLP
Other life science and specialized protocols included such as for the Bio-Rad TSE kits and a growing number of food testing and clinical kits
The iMark Reader comes with six standard absorbance filters: 415, 450, 490, 595, 655, and 750 nm. Bio-Rad also supplies custom filters at 5 nm intervals from 400 to 750 nm on request.
Plate Compatibility
