iMark™ Microplate Absorbance Reader
The iMark microplate absorbance reader offers fast reading speeds, extensive onboard software capabilities, a preprogrammed validation protocol (for the Checkmark reader performance check plate).
Overview
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
Features and Benefits of the iMark Reader
- Fast microplate reading speeds
- Extensive onboard assay configuration
- Powerful data analysis capabilities
- Convenient built-in shaker
- Space-saving, wide-format internal thermal graphical printer
- Simplified standalone operation
- Compact, easy-to-use, and lightweight design
- 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
- Compatible with standard 96-well microplates 128 mm L x 88 mm W
- Plate height cannot exceed 16 mm
- Clear flat-bottom plates are recommended such as Bio-Rad's Costar 96–Well Flat–Bottom EIA Plate (2240096)
- U-Bottom plates can be used, but V-bottom plates are not recommended
