Epoch microplate spectrophotometer has monochromator-based optics, enabling a filter-free, wide wavelength range for UV-Vis absorbance measurements. These measurements can be done in many microplate formats and in 2 µL samples, when the available Take3 microvolume plate is used.Epoch is controlled by Gen5 Data Analysis Software, with simple programming and powerful data analysis. This robust, low maintenance microplate absorbance reader is a cost-effective system. Reliability and ease of use ensure time savings in laboratory workflows.
