The Absorbance Mini-Reader is the most compact spectrophotometer on the market with a footprint only slightly larger than a microplate. It delivers accurate and precise optical density (OD) outputs. The reader is compatible with Automation Trainer’s Validation Reference Plate (VRP) which can be used to test the photometric accuracy and linearity of virtually any reader, and correct GLH QC Kit results to achieve NIST-Traceability.

The compact size allows me to do assays anywhere, and I was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy.
