BioTek Epoch 2 Microplate Spectrophotometer

Description

Designed for UV-Vis absorbance measurements, the BioTek Epoch 2 is a microplate spectrophotometer with a monochromator-based optical system. It covers a wavelength range from 200 nm to 999 nm, supporting applications such as nucleic acid and protein quantification, bacterial growth curves, and various enzymatic assays. The instrument accommodates multiple sample formats, including standard 6- to 384-well microplates, cuvettes, and microvolume samples using an optional accessory. It offers several measurement modes, including endpoint, kinetic, spectral scanning, and well area scanning. Built-in incubation and shaking functions facilitate dynamic assays. Operation is managed through an intuitive interface with optional touchscreen control, and the system integrates with dedicated software for method setup, data acquisition, and analysis. With a high optical density resolution, this spectrophotometer is intended for flexible use in research, screening, and quality control laboratories.
