A microplate reader is an essential instrument for a vast range of applications, from basic ELISAs and DNA quantification to complex gene expression and enzyme kinetic assays. With so many options and functionalities available, it can be difficult to choose the optimal reader for your lab.
In general, LEDs will give you better performance than flash lamps. However, newer generations of instruments, such as the SpectraMax iD5 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader, which has a high performance (high intensity) flash lamp will give you similar performance to that of an LED-based reader. If you do not want to have to choose between light sources, you can go with a system like our SpectraMax i3x Multi-Mode Microplate Reader, which offers all three, so you can choose the best one for your application.
Monochromator-based instruments have a more complex design that can vary between instruments. A monochromator generally consists of an entrance slit, a dispersive element, such as a prism or holographic grating, and an exit slit. Monochromators are used for filtering excitation and emission light. A diffraction grating will separate white light into a spectrum so that the exit slit isolates a specific wavelength of light to excite the sample. Within the exit slit, a rotating dispersive element allows the selection of the desired wavelength. Filter- and monochromator-based microplate readers each have their advantages.
Fortunately, Molecular Devices offers a system with variable bandwidth that can be specific and sensitive at the same time and is suitable for assay optimization, so you do not have to choose. The SpectraMax i3x reader has variable bandwidth for fluorescence and luminescence, and you are able to choose either 9nm or 15 nm for excitation and either 15 nm or 25 nm for emission. In luminescence mode, if you are specifying a wavelength for the read, you can select an emission bandwidth of either 15 nm or 25 nm.

There are many different types of microplate readers available and it can be sometimes difficult to pick the reader that best suits your needs. The basic considerations will be discussed below. If you still need more information or have questions our experts will be happy to assist you.
A microplate reader (also called sometimes microtiter plate reader) is a high-sensitivity instrument designed to analyze samples contained in microplate wells. Microplate formats can vary from 6-1536 wells, providing the ability to read many samples in a short time. The measurement can be performed using a variety of detection technologies: the most common detection modes used in plate readers are absorbance, luminescence and fluorescence. Microplates have become indispensable in modern laboratories and save labor, time and costs.
Filter-based microplate readers use filters to select the desired wavelength. Theyre typically more affordable, but affordability doesnt mean less performance in this case: filter-based systems have a very high transmittance, delivering higher sensitivity than monochromator-based systems for many applications. In addition, wavelength switching is very fast, a desirable feature in ratiometric assays. ELISA readers, for example use filters, as they typically measure a few different wavelenghts only.
The main disadvantage of filter-based microplate readers is that they require a different filter for each wavelength needed, which reduces flexibility and makes it impossible to perform wavelength scans.
Monochromator-based microplate readers use diffraction-gratings to create the desired excitation and/or emission wavelengths. The correct wavelengths can be selected via the instrument software and no filters need to be switched. This provides total flexibility in wavelength selection, and even allows to perform wavelength scans.
A disadvantage of this technology can be compromises that may be required in the optical system of instruments having multiple detection modes, which may result in lower sensitivity compared to dedicated readers.
Some microplate readers from Berthold Technologies offer you the best of both worlds: the Tristar 5 can be configured with both, filters and monochromators, so you can select the best option for your application.
Multimode microplate readers are equipped with more than one detection technology. They are more complex than dedicated plate readers, and some design compromises have to be made to accommodate all detection modes in a single instrument. In return, they offer great flexibility, enabling a broad range of applications and, especially in advanced instruments such as the Tristar 5, provide excellent performance.
Can anyone explain to me why the readings on ELISA readers are considered linear from zero to up to OD 2 or 3 (give or take a couple % variance at the tail ends) when the Beer-Lambert law states that you are only in the linear range of an absorbance reading between 0.2 and 0.8 OD?
At least that's what the manufacturers say!!
The RIDAABSORBANCE 96 is a microtiter plate reader for the automated readout of RIDASCREEN ELISA tests from R-Biopharm AG and ELISA sales products. RIDASCREEN ELISA tests and R-Biopharm sales products are carried out by professionally trained laboratory personnel according to the relevant test kit description under the stated conditions for the specific sample material.
The new RIDAABSORBANCE 96 is a compact reader for ELISA tests. Barely larger than a microtiter plate, it fits into any laboratory and, thanks to modern LED technology, enables simultaneous measurement of all 96 wells in just 5 seconds. The device is nearly maintenance-free, precise, robust and requires no additional power supply apart from the USB connection to the computer. The RIDAABSORBANCE 96 offers 4 different wavelengths and can be used for all RIDASCREEN ELISA tests, both for food and feed analysis and for clinical diagnostics.
Although there are variety of standard commercial 96 well ELISA microplate readers for laboratory-based ELISA, there is a need for an ELISA detection system for the LOCD platform. This is because, unlike 96 wells plates, the detection chambers on a LOCD are in a circular array and they have non-uniform positions. In contrast to LOCD platforms, optical detection of ELISA has been done in lab-on-chip (LOC) platforms. Wang et al. [17] demonstrated ELISA optical detection with cell phone imaging. However, the chip needs to be put in a controlled lighting box. Moreover, different cellphones have different image sensor chips which will affect the image processing results. Hence, we applied a known monochromatic light emitting diode (LED) and optical sensor in our detection scheme.
In conventional ELISA, a skilled laboratory technician is needed to interpret the diagnostic results (positive or negative) as different ELISA kits have differing formulas to interpret the result from observed OD values. In order to eliminate this need in resource-poor regions, the LOCD ELISA reader ideally needs to be automated, easy-to-use and smart enough to interpret results on its own. Yang et al. [18] used a Charged Couple Device (CCD) camera for automated detection of standard 96 wells ELISA. The system, however, needs a computer to interpret the results. In this paper, we present a novel integrated standalone platform to read and interpret the ELISA test results on a LOCD platform. Various ELISA kits have different procedures for OD detection such as different threshold levels for distinguishing positive results from negative ones. For example, the SD dengue ELISA kit has a threshold of negative control OD value plus 2 and other kits have different values. The proposed platform can smartly interpret the results of ELISA for various ELISA kits by choosing a specific kit from an application on a smartphone, which will use the equation associated with the kit to interpret the results. The apparatus makes use of absorption spectrophotometry principle for colorimetric detection in sandwich ELISA analysis. The device also consists of a motor control system to automatically position the area of interest on the LOCD under the photodetector. The sensing system described in this work can be readily combined with control systems to achieve an integrated LOCD system that can perform the test as well as interpret the results. Since the detection system is integrated with a smartphone platform, many useful functions can be incorporated. These include smartphone-based tutorials on performing point-of-care ELISA tests, extraction of patient data, integration with healthcare information systems and various telemedicine applications.
