Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a microplate reader and a washer?
A microplate reader is an optical instrument used to detect biological, chemical, or physical events in samples in a microplate, while a washer is used to clean and remove unbound reagents from the plate wells during an assay.
2. Does the AHN CappWash require a power source?
No, the CappWash series is a manual, non-electric plate washer that operates via a vacuum source, making it highly portable and ideal for labs with limited bench space.
3. What assays are these readers compatible with?
The LTEK INNO series is primarily designed for absorbance-based assays, which are standard for ELISA, protein quantification (e.g., Bradford or BCA), and cell viability tests.
4. How do I verify the accuracy of my plate reader?
Using a specialized test plate like the LTEK INNO-Q allows you to perform routine quality control checks to verify the absorbance accuracy and linearity of your instrument.
