Read Specifications
The actual plate read time and accuracy are dependent on the method of reading:
•
Normal mode is the slowest of the two available modes. After positioning
the well over the beam, the instrument waits however long the user has
defined the delay (0–2550 ms) before taking the measurement (eight-flash
data collection).
The longer the delay, the more completely the fluids in the wells
settle.
• Sweep mode is the fastest mode. The plate carrier sweeps each row past
the optics channel without stopping and collects data with a single flash at
each well as it goes by.
The following read times are based on a single or dual wavelength measurement.
Actual reading speeds may vary, depending upon the reading wavelength
selected. Each wavelength has a unique location within the monochromator, and
the different locations require varying amounts of time to position.
