PRODUCT DETAILS

AXONIA MEDICAL offers the BioTek Epoch 2, an advanced microplate spectrophotometer designed to deliver precise and reliable performance for a wide range of applications, including DNA, RNA, and protein quantification, as well as cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays.


BioTek Epoch 2 microplate spectrophotometer delivers excellent performance for UV-Vis absorbance measurements. Measurements can be performed in 6- to 384-well microplates, cuvettes, and microvolume samples with the available Take3 microvolume plate. The broad wavelength range enables applications from nucleic acid and protein quantification in the low UV to microbial growth assays with higher wavelengths.


Epoch 2 is easy to use, and the optional touchscreen interface makes it simple to choose predefined protocols or to define custom programs. Endpoint, kinetic, spectral scanning, well area scanning modes, and incubation and shaking enable wide-ranging applications.


Epoch 2 includes monochromator-based individual wavelength selection or wavelength scanning from 200 to 999 nm, accommodating an extensive range of assays, including nucleic acid and protein quantification, ELISA, microbial growth, endotoxin, ROS assays, and enzyme kinetics.


The onboard software in the Epoch 2 eliminates the need for a separate computer and includes predefined standard protocols for rapid assay setup and recall. The optional color touchscreen interface easily accomplishes custom protocol definition, storage, and selection. Endpoint, kinetic, and spectral scanning applications are all available from the touchscreen. Data can be output to a USB flash drive or printer.
