Microplate Readers and Reader Accessories
Microplate readers are a type of spectrophotometer designed specifically for analyzing multiple samples in multi-well plates.
The readers detect light signals that result from biological, chemical, biochemical, or physical reactions. The signals are produced by, converted by, or transmitted through the samples and are measured by a detector. The detectors are usually photomultiplier tubes (PMT), which convert the released photons into electricity. The current is quantified by the reader’s software to produce the numerical result.
In some cases, samples are first excited by exposure to light of specific wavelengths. Filters or monochromators are used to select or restrict the wavelengths needed for emission or detection.
Single-mode microplate readers commonly measure absorbance, fluorescence, or luminescence. Multi-mode plate readers may measure absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence with options for fluorescence polarization (FP). They may also include lasers for time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), TR-FRET, Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogeneous Assays (ALPHA), and cell imaging.
Features may include:
- Monochromator- or filter-based wavelength selection
- Visible only or UV/Vis spectrum, fluorescence, and luminescence
- Multiple photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for simultaneous assays
- Temperature and CO2/O2controls
- Modular design for adding functionality
Microplate readers are used for high-throughput screening (HTS), biomarker assays, nucleic acid and protein quantification, kinetics, ELISA assays, homogeneous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF) for measuring cytokines, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), and other techniques.
Electron Microscopy Sciences S10 Stage Counting Grid 0.05 mm Square
Stage graticules are used for the routine calibration of eyepiece patterns, particularly when alternating between objectives on one microscope or when using the same graticule in different microscopes. Their robust construction makes them ideal for student use and for instructional purposes. The scale or grid is centered on a glass disc mounted in a black anodized aluminum slide 75 mm x 24 mm x 2 mm thick. Transmitted light stage slide with 10 x 10 grid of 0.05mm squares.

Molecular Devices Emission Slide, Empty, Slide 21, FilterMax Compatible
The empty emission slide is an unpopulated emission filter slide designed to accept user-selected emission filters for custom fluorescence configurations on compatible microplate readers. It installs into the reader's filter slider assembly to provide flexible emission filter selection for fluorescence assays while excluding fluorescence polarization methods.
- Empty emission filter slide for custom filter installation.
- Accepts emission filter elements for fluorescence detection.
- Configurable for fluorescence methods except fluorescence polarization.
- Supplied as a single slide for in-lab or service installation.
- Installs into the reader filter slider assembly for filter mounting.
