Designed for applications including ELISAs, endotoxin testing, enzymatic activity, bacterial growth studies, and fast kinetic assays, the ELx808IU combines reliable optical performance with flexible plate-reading capabilities. The reader supports endpoint, kinetic, and linear scan modes, with linear well scanning providing added functionality for applications such as agglutination assays. Its staggered optical design helps eliminate channel-to-channel crosstalk, while an onboard diagnostic self-test allows users to verify and document instrument performance. The ELx808IU also incorporates temperature control and shaking functionality, expanding its capabilities for assays requiring controlled incubation and sample mixing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith onboard software supporting up to 55 user-defined programs and Gen5 compatibility, the ELx808IU provides a straightforward platform for routine plate analysis while supporting efficient, repeatable laboratory workflows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"included-box\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"included-header\"\u003eINCLUDED:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe BioTek ELx808 Microplate Reader - Absorbance Only includes:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e340, 405, 450, 490, and 630 nm Filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 11 Professional 64-Bit Data Station with Pre-Loaded Gen5 PC Software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABS and Self Test Calibration Report\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperator's Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBioTek ELx808 Microplate Reader - Absorbance Only Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100.036%; height: 1290.8px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.123%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003eWavelength Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.4171%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e340 to 900 nm (Filter Based)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.123%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilters Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.4171%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e340, 405, 450, 490, and 630 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.123%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWavelength Bandpass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.4171%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.123%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWavelength Selection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.4171%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter Based: 340, 405, 450, 490, and 630 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.123%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicroplate Capacity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.4171%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard 96-well microplates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.123%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions (W x D x H)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.4171%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16 x 15.5 x 8.75 in (40.6 x 39.4 x 22.2 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 31.123%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.4171%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 lb.
