The vision behind the Absorbance 96 was to give the user complete flexibility. The result is a uniquely designed, solid state microplate reader with 96 detection units.
Being portable and by far the most compact reader on the market, the Absorbance 96 constitutes an exciting new category of plate reader.
The World’s Most Compact Plate Reader
One of the main ideas behind the Absorbance 96 is to simplify the workflow in the laboratory. The small size of the reader, in combination with the unique open design, leads to an entirely new user experience. A simple USB connection provides both the power supply and access to the analysis software via plug-and-play.



Take the Lab into Your Hands
The Absorbance 96 is the only truly portable plate reader in the world. Easily transported within or between different laboratories, the Absorbance 96 gives you complete flexibility. In the often-crowded setting of the modern laboratory, the Absorbance 96 helps decentralizing important workflows, increasing access to instrumentation and bringing readout to your workspace.

Your Assay, Your Reader
ELISAs - PNPP, ABTS, OPD, TMB
Protein assays - Bradford, BCA, Lowry
Cell-based assays - MTT, XTT, Cell density
Despite its compact form, the Absorbance 96 delivers precise and accurate results at an affordable price. The solid state design enables simultaneous signal detection, resulting in extremely fast photometric measurements. A range of 400–1000 nm allows for a wide variety of wavelength combinations for both endpoint and kinetic assays.
