Microplate Reader Measurements and Controls

Description

A microplate reader measures signals from samples in a multiwell plate. It is a multimodal instrument, so it can record absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence. This makes it useful for running several experiments at the same time.

Multiwell plates are a key part of the setup. They let many te...

Transcript

The microplate reader is a widely-used instrument that allows for many samples to be simultaneously measured, as if many miniscule experiments were being performed at the same time.

This apparatus is used in conjunction with multiwell plates, like the 96 well plate.

Regardless of the type of experiment run with...
