Agilent BioTek Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer

Description

The Agilent BioTek Epoch is a microplate spectrophotometer used for taking absorbance measurements in a microplate format. It operates across a wide UV-Vis spectrum, from 200 to 999 nm, using a monochromator for wavelength selection. This makes it applicable for standard laboratory protocols such as quantifying nucleic acids (including 260/280 ratio calculations for purity assessment) and performing ELISA assays. The instrument provides a fundamental platform for endpoint absorbance readings, offering a straightforward solution for researchers needing reliable spectral data from samples arrayed in microplates.
