Product Details

BioTek plate readers, such as the Epoch 2 microplate spectrophotometer, offer many features and benefits for laboratories seeking a dependable and accurate endotoxin testing system. It delivers excellent performance for UV-Vis absorbance measurements and outstanding versatility to help you meet demanding assay requirements with confidence. If you are looking for a replacement BioTek reader for the discontinued BioTek ELx808 microplate reader, the BioTek Epoch 2 is your solution.

The BioTek Epoch 2 microplate spectrophotometer delivers excellent performance for UV-Vis absorbance measurements. Measurements can be performed in 6- to 384-well microplates, cuvettes, and in microvolume samples. The broad wavelength range enables applications from nucleic acid and protein quantification in the low UV to microbial growth assays at higher wavelengths.

Product Features

  • Filter-free UV-Vis wavelength selection from 200 to 999 nm in 1 nm increments: Monochromator-based optics offer a broad wavelength range for applications ranging from nucleic acid and protein quantification to microbial growth assays.
  • Compatible with 6- to 384-well microplates and cuvettes for assay versatility: The optional cuvette port enables quick and easy 1 cm sample measurements. The system offers versatile choices for assay workflows in a variety of labware. 
  • Ability to handle a range of research applications: With 4-Zone incubation to 65 °C and Condensation Control, the Epoch 2 Microplate Reader can meet the assay requirements of applications ranging from biofuels research to food and beverage safety and kinetic assays. 
  • Compatible with ACC’s PyroSmart NextGen® recombinant cascade reagent (rCR): The Epoch 2 is easy to use, and integration with ACC’s Pyros® eXpress software makes it simple to choose predefined endotoxin-specific reagents, including ACC’s PyroSmart NextGen® recombinant cascade reagent (rCR).
  • The BioTek Epoch 2 Microplate Reader can be used for varied research applications. However, it is designed for research use only and is not intended for use in diagnostic procedures.
