Specifications

F. No. 117/Pharma/RPC/SSK/12-13
Multi Mode Microplate Reader
• The Instrument should be a spectral scanning multimode reader including absorbance, fluorescence intensity
(top/bottom reading), photometric and ultraluminometric detection technologies and supports endpoint, kinetic
and spectral scanning measurements.
• Advanced Monochromator for example dual excitation monochromators and dual emission monochromator for
all possible applications. Any other possible advancement in this option may clearly be defined and explained
how it is having advantage over the other one. Please enclose the patent information for such option.
• Upgradable interface with newer technologies in this field.
• Lable free technology upgradation must be available to do the non-invasive cellular receptor and signaling assays,
as well as biochemical binding assays.
• Instrument should be capable to read optical biosensor label-free, fluorescence intensity, absorbance, ultra-
sensitive luminescence and alpha technologies in microplates up to 384-wells.
• Instrument should have monochromator wavelength from 230-850 nm
at 0.1nm step of increment with a selectable band width for Excitation and Emission as 5nm or better.
• Bottom detection for the 384 well plate should be <5fmol/well or better.
• Operational range of 230-1000 nm in photometry. The OD value for 96well & 384 Well plate to be approx. 0 – 3
OD or better.
• Accuracy in photometry @ 2 optical density should be <2% and Precision @ 2 optical density should be <0.1%.
or better.
• Monochromator band width required to be 5 nm or better.
• Red Sensitive PMT should be offered as a field upgradeable option without any extra cost to enable luminometry.
• Should be able to do the flash and glow reaction. The 96 well plate ATP and 384 well plate ATP to be < 10 pM
(Glow) and <15 amol/well or better.
• On-board incubator for conducting kinetic assay.
• Software controlled programmable reagent dispenser with the option for shaking.
• Software controlled operation expected. Computer of required configuration to run the software with laser printer
and UPS must be quoted along with the machine.
