Labtech International has launched a package comprising the LT-4000MS fully automatic Elisa absorbance microplate reader, Manta software and laptop package.
The LT-4000MS provides fully automated reading and analysis.
Its eight-channel optical system enables five-second reading for a 96-well plate.
A multi-assay feature enables up to 12 assays on one plate.
The LT-4000MS features a random positive and negative control setting and multiple on-board software calculation including cut-off mode, point-to-point, linear regression and so on.
A lamp saving feature decreases operational costs and its design is said to be low maintenance.
Four filters come as standard: 405nm, 450nm, 492nm and 630nm.
Manta software is included for data analysis and management.
Manta is a data acquisition, assay design and analysis software tool for microplate-based assays in diagnostic or research applications.
Its Quick-Start Wizard allows step-by-step creation of assay protocols (including data acquisition, microplate layout and data export).
The software enables complete control of all reader functions.
It offers a choice of endpoint or kinetic reads using either single or dual wavelengths, and delivers real-time display of readings.
A range of data export options is available, including export to Excel.
The laptop - a Toshiba Satellite Pro - features: 2GHz; RAM 1 GB; HDD 120GB; DVD+/-RW (+/-R DL)/DVD- RAM; GMA 4500M Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0; WLAN: 802.11b/g; Vista Business/XP Pro downgrade; pre-installed: Windows Vista; 15.4in widescreen TFT 1,280 x 800 (WXGA) Trubrite; Microsoft Office Ready.
