AO ABSORBANCE MICROPLATE READER

AC3000

Stand-alone, filter-based 96-well plate, absorbance microplate reader for ELISA, Bradford, Lowry assays, and more

Consistent Answers to a Rainbow
of Assays at Your Fingertips

The Ao Microplate Reader has a multitude of features to help you save time with arrays like ELISA, Bradford, and Lowry assays with wavelength ranging from 340-750nm. Each system comes with an 8 position filter wheel with 8 filters: 405, 450, 492, 595, and 630 standard, plus 3 from the filter catalogue, built-in shaker with speed selection, single and dual-read modes, and analysis software. The Ao Microplate Reader offers top-end performance and flexibility found in much more expensive models at an affordable price.

Key Features

Quickly

Select from pre-set or custom protocols and analysis options. The Ao Absorbance Microplate Reader makes measurement and analysis easy by creating a standard curve and performing sample calculations automatically.

Ao Plate Reader Software showing pre-programmed bradford protocol
Choosing and setting up an ELISA or Bradford protocol is easy on the Ao Absorbance Microplate Reader with easy-access pre-programmed protocols.

Easily

Set up a 96-well plate for your experiment. The 96-well format allows for the testing of multiple samples simultaneously while still allowing for a broad detection range.

Intuitively

View and analysis your raw data.  After reading the
plate, the software opens the REPORT tab with raw data
measurements. The standard curve can be viewed and
printed by selecting CURVE in the REPORT tab. The curve-fit and axes can be changed through the PROGRAM tab or the button beside the curve plot, even after a plate is read.

The absorbance values of standards plotted against a Histamine EIA Kit showing designated concentration values. Touch “CURVE” to view and print the standard curve generated from the absorption readings of the provided standards.

Effortlessly

Print or export your results in report form, or as raw data. Data analysis is automatically performed by the Ao plate reader software, and results are easily viewable and exportable using the large touch screen interface, minimizing the need for outside analysis or calculation software.
