Epoch Microplate Reader

The Agilent Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer is a highly robust and reliable system that employs monochromator-based optics, negating the need for filters and offering a wide wavelength range for UV-Vis absorbance measurements. Designed to accommodate various microplate formats, the Epoch also supports 2 µL samples via the optional Take3 microvolume plate. Gen5 software interface ensures streamlined programming and sophisticated data analysis. This cost-effective microplate absorbance reader delivers optimal performance, minimizes maintenance requirements, and contributes to significant time savings in laboratory workflows.

Key Advantages

• Filter-free, high-quality optics, and robust hardware provide superior performance and value. 
• 200 to 999 nm wavelengths for UV-Vis applications expedite nucleic acid and protein quantification in microplates.
• Microvolume detection: The optional Take3 plate enhances Epoch’s capabilities to small, 2 µL sample volumes for direct DNA, RNA, and protein quantification, providing rapid results for up to 48 samples at a time.
• Flexible measurement modes: Epoch allows for absorbance measurement in 6- to 384-well formats in endpoint, kinetic, and spectral scan reading modes. 
• Walkaway processing: Epoch enables the automation of reading processes  combining with the BioStack microplate stacker,for 10, 30, or 50 microplates, freeing lab personnel for other tasks.

Applications

• Advanced absorbance reading: endpoint, kinetic and spectral scan reading modes. 

• ELISA Assays
• DNA/RNA Quantification
• Protein Quantification
