Accuris SmartReader™ Multimode
The Accuris SmartReader™ Multimode is an advanced microplate reader designed to meet the growing needs of advanced life science labs. Equipped with a full suite of high-performance optical systems, the SmartReader Multimode is your all-in-one solution for absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence applications.
The SmartReader Multimode quickly processes assays in standard 96 well plates and can also accept 6, 12, 24, 48 and 384 well plates. Programming and operation are managed from the instrument’s large color touch screen and no external computer or software is required. Optional PC software is available for easy control and data handling via a Windows™ PC. The friendly and intuitive interface guides the user through various options for assay set up and processing. The instrument features a built-in plate shaker with linear, orbital, and double-orbital shaking modes, and an incubator that can perform top heating from ambient + 4°C – 45°C. Top heating creates a temperature gradient to prevent condesnation when lids are used on the microplates. Upon startup, the SmartReader Multimode performs a self-diagnostic test, followed by an automatic calibration of the entire system, ensuring consistent results across a wide range of assays.
UV-Visible AbsorbanceUtilizing an advanced monochromator and a long-life, broad-spectrum xenon flash lamp, the SmartReader Multimode can produce incident light at user-selected wavelengths from 200 to 1000 nm in 1 nm steps. Processing assays is fast; a full 96 well plate can be read in under 15 seconds. The kinetic assay feature performs multiple readings over a set period of time, with curves for each well displayed in real-time. The optional SmartDrop™ plate allows fast and convenient UV absorbance evaluation of up to 16 nucleic acid and protein sample droplets.
Absorbance Applications:ELISA AssaysColorimetrics Assays (Bradford, Lowry, etc.)Enzyme KineticsSpectral ScanningDNA & RNA Analysis…and moreFluorescenceThree filter modules are included to provide the most common excitation and emission wavelengths needed for fluorescence assays. Additional filter modules are available. These advanced modules incorporate dichroic mirrors with narrow band-pass optical filters and ensure high light transmission, increased detection sensitivity, and are easily exchanged. Modules are barcoded for automatic loading of wavelength data. The SmartReader Multimode allows for automatic dynamic range selection, which allows for the gain of the photomultiplier tube to accurately capture and normalize the signal intensity of samples.
LuminescenceThe SmartReader Multimode is capable of luminescent detection, and can process both flash and glow assays. An advanced PMT (photo multiplier tube) enhances sensitivity of weak signals, prevents over-saturation of strong signals, and provides an ideal detection range for all common luminescence applications. Up to 2 sample injectors (available separately) can be installed and are compatible with both 96 and 384-well plates.
Data Transfer & PC SoftwareData from the SmartReader Multimode to can be exported as either a .XLS or .CSV file via the included USB flash drive, the FTP server, or by using the optional SmartReader™ PC Software.
The SmartReader PC Software allows for remote programming & operation of the instrument via cable connection. Data from the instrument is automatically uploaded to the connected PC for further analyses. Both a Research version for academic use, and a FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant version are available.

Accuris SmartReader™ UV-Vis Microplate Readers
The Accuris SmartReader™ UV-Vis Microplate Readers (models MR9610 and MR9611) have been designed with ease-of-use and fast results in mind. These instruments brings extensive capabilities to the lab bench and are designed for the busy lab with multiple users. A large touch screen command center is extremely user-friendly and allows for fast set up of new protocols, as well as modifying and running existing protocols.
Monochromator technology with no filters neededThe monochromator-based optical system allows for precise selection of wavelengths from 200nm to 1000nm, with no filters required. This range makes the SmartReader UV-Vis™ useful not only for typical ELISA , Bradford Lowry, and turbidity assays but also for more advanced applications such as quantitation of nucleic acids and proteins. The SmartReader™ UV-Vis can be set for Endpoint, Kinetic and Spectral Scanning assays.
High Throughput CapabilityThe MR9610 is designed for efficient processing of multiple samples andaccepts standard 96 well plates as well as 384 well plates for high densityscreening. The plate layout interface allows for a quick and intuitive setup of a plate well’s contents. Users can highlight and label multiple wells to save time. The display shows a graphical representation of the plate. Users can label each well as required for: “known standard”, “unknown sample”, “blank well” , “QC Control well”, “positive control”, “negative control”, and “empty”.
Optimized results with plate shaking and incubationControllable plate shaking and incubation allow for optimization of assay results. The shaking speed can be controlled at different intensities with options for timed and pulsed shaking before a reading, or in between readings when performing a kinetic assay. The linear motion efficiently and uniformly mixes all samples in both 96 and 384 well plates. Temperature can be controlled from ambient +5⁰C up to 45⁰C, allowing for the processing of enzyme kinetics, and bacterial growth assays.
SmartDrop™ Accessory PlateAbsorbance measurements of exceptionally small volumes (<0.5ul) can be achieved using the SmartDrop™ Accessory Plate. The SmartDrop™ plate accommodates up to 16 samples and is ideal for checking nucleic acid concentrations and purity for Next Gen Sequencing, or protein concentrations.

Accuris SmartWasher™ 96
The Accuris SmartWasher™ 96 automates the process of ELISA plate washing so assays can be prepared quickly, accurately, and with confidence for absorbance reading. It’s the perfect companion to our popular SmartReader™ 96 microplate reader.
Research requires flexibility – the SmartWasher™ 96 provides it. Full plates, partial plates, and strips with U, V, C, or flat bottoms are accepted by this fully automated washer. Multiple aspiration point settings allow for minimal residual liquid in the wells after aspiration. All parameters, including dispense volume, suction time, soak and shake cycles, and shaking speed are easily programmed using the large 4.3” LCD display and keypad. Up to 100 wash protocols can be stored on board the SmartWasher™ 96 and recalled when needed, or transferred between machines with a flash drive.
The washer comes equipped with 2 wash bottles, 1 rinse bottle and a waste bottle. All have sensors that alert the user when the solutions are low, or in the case of the waste bottle, when it needs to be emptied. An auto-rinse function primes the dispensing tube and wash heads to prevent cross contamination and clogs.
8- and 12-channel manifolds (purchased separately) accommodate plates in either orientation. A transparent, acrylic shield surrounds the wash area, allowing for visualization of the plate. Should a spill or leak occur, the beveled spill well ensures that the liquid is extracted immediately to avoid cross-contamination.
The SmartWasher™ 96 is the perfect partner for the SmartReader™ 96 Microplate Absorbance Reader as well as other popular readers.
