About Microplate Readers

A microplate reader is a laboratory instrument that is used to measure chemical, biological or physical reactions, properties, and analytes within the well of a microplate. A microplate consists of small wells in which separated reactions take place. These reactions convert the presence of an analyte or the progression of biochemical processes into optical signals. The microplate reader detects these signals and thus quantifies the parameter of interest.

Scientists in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries strive to improve routine laboratory processes and efficiency by using products or instruments able to save time. A plate reader helps to minimize operational time and to save reagent costs, allowing researchers to dedicate more time to data analysis and the generation of actionable insights.

A microplate reader is used for the quantification of several biological and chemical assays in a microplate. Nowadays, the availability of a plethora of reagent kits enables the exploitation of a microplate reader in different fields and for many different applications. Besides biological, biochemical, and pharmaceutical research, both in academic and industrial environments, plate readers are also used in environmental research, and in the food or cosmetics industry.
