MICROPLATE ABSORBANCE READERS
BioTek's absorbance readers provide total flexibility for many applications. From basic ELISA to high throughput detection, the absorbance readers offer tremendous functionality.
BioTek’s life science instrumentation addresses a very broad range of applications in imaging & microscopy, multi-mode microplate detection, associated liquid handling and assay automation.
DID YOU KNOW?
BioTek was founded in 1968 by University of Vermont physiologist Dr. Norman Alpert who developed biomedical testing equipment. In 1981, the firm built its first microplate reader, leading to the creation of BioTek's Laboratory Instrumentation Division
1995
BioTek ELx800
The ELx800 is a cost-effective, high quality absorbance reader designed for applications within the clinical, biotechnology research, and pharmaceutical laboratory. Its compact footprint and proven design make it a capable solution for many microplate-based biological assays.

BioTek 800 TS
The 800 TS takes microplate reader capabilities to the next level by enabling temperature-controlled incubation and shaking, fast data access, and an advanced user interface. The system is designed for ELISA, protein assays, and enzyme kinetics. Multiple models give the 800 TS significant versatility.
The ELx800 has a robust design and excellent performance for endpoint and non-temperature sensitive kinetic assays. Gen5 Software controls the ELx800, expanding the reader’s capabilities to include kinetics and well area scanning measurements. Gen5 offers data reduction capability as well as customizable data output options.
FEATURES
The 800 TS has an ultra modern design and excellent performance for endpoint and temperature sensitive kinetic assays. Gen5 Software gives the 800 TS expanded capabilities to process kinetic data as well as sample delta and blanking. Customizable data output and printing options are also valuable improvements.
