Biotek PowerWave HT 340 Microplate Reader
The Biotek PowerWave HT 340
is an eight-channel, automated, benchtop, and general-purpose absorbance microplate reader that performs optical density measurements of samples in a 96- or 384-well microplate format. The PowerWave HT 340 features a monochromator which offers continuous wavelength selection from 340 to 999 nm in 1-nm increments, as well as wavelength scanning without the need for interference filters. A variety of read methods can be utilized, including endpoint, kinetic, multiwavelength, and spectral scanning. The user may choose from three reading speeds: normal, rapid, and sweep mode. The microplate reader is computer controlled using Biotek's Gen5 PC software for all operations, including data reduction and analysis.
Absorbance measurements are made by utilizing the featured xenon flash lamp and the monochromator for wavelength selection.
The PowerWave HT 340 is also equipped a unique 4-Zone temperature control from 4°C over ambient to 50°C that ensures superior temperature uniformity necessary for kinetic assays. An internal microplate shaker is also featured on this unit, which allows for selection between low, medium, high, and variable speeds with adjustable durations. The PowerWave HT 340 can also be interfaced with Biotek's BioStack Microplate Stacker for robotic functionality.
The Biotek PowerWave HT 340 Microplate Reader includes:
- > Windows 11 Professional 64-Bit Data Station with Pre-Loaded Gen5 PC Software
- > ABS and Self Test Calibration Report
- > Operator's Manual
- > Interface Cable
- > Full 180 Day Part and Labor Warranty
