Absorbance microplate reader GEN1

The Opentrons Flex Absorbance Plate Reader Module is a fully automated solution for absorbance-based assays. Capable of detecting absorbance in the 400-1000 nm range, it is optimized for a broad array of applications, including protein quantification, sample normalization, cell viability assays, and bacterial growth monitoring. This module facilitates complete walkaway automation, enabling high-throughput data collection with no manual intervention. Paired with the Opentrons Flex Gripper, it automates every step from reagent prep to plate transfer to measurement, ensuring consistent and reproducible results. The Opentrons Flex Absorbance Plate Reader Module is not available for sale in Europe.* Features Fully automated préparation, loading, and reading Multiple wavelengths supporting a range of applications Modular installation and easy operation Tech Specs Dimensions Reader: 9.6 x 15.5 x 5.7 cm (w/l/h) Adapter: 8.6 x 12.8 x 1.7 cm (w/l/h Detection Method Absorbance Microplate Type 96-well microplates (flat bottom) Resolution 0.001 OD (optical density) Power Input 2.5 Watts Detector 96 Photodiodes Accuracy 405 nm: ≤ 1.5% + 0.010 OD from 0.0 – 2.0 OD; ≤ 3.0% + 0.010 OD from 2.0 – 3.0 OD ≥ 450 nm: ≤ 1.0% + 0.010 OD from 0.0 – 2.0 OD; ≤ 1.5% + 0.010 OD from 2.0 – 3.0 OD Weight Illumination unit: 435g Detection unit: 355g Detection Mode Endpoint, Kinetic Photometric Range 0.0–4.0 OD (optical density) Power Supply USB connection 5 V Wavelength Filter Settings 450 nm, 562 nm, 600 nm, 650nm, custom wavelengths available Linearity 405 nm: ≤ 1.5% from 0.0 – 2.0 OD; ≤ 3.0% from 2.0 – 3.0 OD ≥ 450 nm: ≤ 1.0% from 0.0 – 2.0 OD; ≤ 1.5% from 2.0 – 3.0 OD
