Microplate reader 1 article

microplate reader is an instrument class for optical measurements in microplates used in biotechnology research workflows and scientific data analysis. Its technical role is defined by absorbance plate detection and fluorescence microplate detection, with luminescence plate detection describing the physical measurement, handling or production step performed in the laboratory. Workflows commonly connect the device with multimode plate reader and 96-well assay measurement, making hardware configuration and assay context important to interpretation. A microplate reader measures signals from wells, whereas a liquid handler prepares or transfers samples and reagents before measurement.
