The Epoch provides performance from 200 to 999nm for nucleic-acid and protein quantification, wavelength scanning, end-point, kinetic and well-area scanning in 6- to 384-well microplates.
The multi-volume spectrophotometer system consists of the monochromator-based Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer and the Take3 Multi-Volume Plate.
The Take3 plate allows users to measure up to 16 2uL samples, two Biocells or a standard cuvette.
The Take3 interface in Gen5 Data Analysis Software makes low-volume nucleic-acid quantification fast and easy with its pre-programmed protocols and data output.
Customers are invited to enter Biotek's 'Why I need a Biotek Epoch for my lab' video contest to win an Epoch system.
Entrants are required to send the company a short video describing why they need the Epoch for their laboratory, via Facebook or mailed DVD, by 1 October 2010.
