Micro-volume quantification is fast and easy with the Take3 Micro-Volume Plate, used in your BioTek microplate reader. Measure multiple 2 µL samples at a time, without diluting and without needing specialized equipment. Pre-programmed nucleic acid and protein protocols in Gen5 make quantification fast and easy.
 

Features

Low volume 2 µL nucleic acid and protein quantification

It takes only 2 µL of undiluted sample to get rapid results with the Take3 plate. Choose from the 16-sample Take3 or the 48-sample Take3 Trio for higher throughput. Take3 plates are compatible with most of BioTek’s multi-mode readers, imaging multi-mode readers and microplate spectrophotometers.

Pre-programmed protocols in Gen5 Software

Gen5’s pre-programmed dsDNA, ssDNA, RNA and protein (BSA, IgG, lysozyme) measurement protocols make getting direct quantitative results quick and easy. Add sample IDs and define blanks if desired. Endpoint results and selectable spectral scans provide quick visual results and are output in convenient .xls, or .xml formats.

Absorbance and fluorescence detection

The Take3 plates aren’t limited to absorbance detection – they are useful for micro-volume fluorescence quantitation as well – with only 2 µL sample volumes. Compatible with many of BioTek’s multi-mode readers and imaging multi-mode readers.

Easy, wipe-off maintenance

Residue and dust can wreak havoc on micro-volume measurements, so it’s important to keep the sample surfaces super clean. Take3 plates are so easy to clean – simply wipe samples off after measurement with a laboratory wipe.
 

Read 2 µL microspots, BioCells or standard cuvettes

Along with 16 microspots, the Take3 plate can accept a standard 1 cm cuvette or 2 patented BioCells for rapid 1 cm measurements in a BioTek microplate spectrophotometer. The Take3 Trio offers 48 microspots and 2 BioCell positions.

The Take3 microvolume plates increases the functionality of your microplate reader by decreasing the required sample size down to a 2 μL volume. Take3 plates are compatible with the Cytation, Synergy, and Epoch readers for microvolume absorbance and fluorescence quantification. Microvolume quantification is fast and easy by measuring multiple 2 µL samples at the same time, without diluting and without the need for specialized equipment. Preprogrammed nucleic acid and protein protocols in Gen5 software bring confidence in your quantification data.

For use with Synergy LX under Gen5 control.

Absorbance test plates make testing for absorbance readers easy, fast, and accurate. As a convenient method of monitoring your reader, the test plate can aid in diagnosing system performance and is a QC documentation tool for your laboratory.;Many regulatory agencies require microplate readers to be checked periodically as part of compliance with CLIA 88 or with good laboratory practices (GLP). Automated absorbance readers can be quickly and easily tested for critical performance specifications using the absorbance test plates and onboard diagnostic self-tests.

All BioTek automated absorbance readers can be quickly and simply tested for critical performance specifications using two complementary methods uniquely developed by BioTek Instruments:

• BioTek's Absorbance Test Plate uses neutral density filters and precision machined alignment holes to confirm performance specs in the visible range (400 – 800 nm). It also includes a glass filter to test the wavelength accuracy of monochromator-based absorbance systems.
• BioTek's on-board Reader Diagnostic Self-Test verifies the reader's optical and electronic performance.

BioTek's Absorbance Test Plate helps meet regulatory instrumentation validation requirements by testing four critical specifications:

• Alignment
• Accuracy
• Reproducibility
• Linearity

Each Test Plate consists of the following:

• NIST (NBS)-traceable neutral density glass filters for checking accuracy, reproducibility, and linearity.
• Glass filter for monochromator accuracy.
• Blanking verification holes.
• Alignment verification holes
• Calibration data at 8 wavelengths is supplied for full range testing.

The Absorbance Test Plate includes a data sheet for these commonly used wavelengths: 405, 450, 490, 550, 620, 630, 690, and 750 nm. Custom wavelength data is available for an additional charge.

BioTek's Absorbance Test Plate complies with the IVD (In Vitro Diagnostics) Directive.

• Detailed Required Material List
• Installation Qualification Procedure and Checklist
• Operational Qualification Procedure
• Performance Qualification Procedure
• Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets for calculations required by the procedures
• Maintenance Procedures
• 5-Year Logbook for documenting all procedures/results
• All of the documentation is available in both *.doc and *.pdf file format

The Absorbance Test Plate (p/n 7260522) is required in order to run some procedures specified for absorbance and multi-mode readers, but is not included and must be ordered separately.

Please Note: BioTek's Product Qualification Packages include thorough procedures to allow a user to perform Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification and Performance Qualification. Periodic maintenance procedures are also included to assist in maintaining the instruments for optimal performance. The Product Qualification Packages contain only documentation and Procedures. Note: Many of these procedures require the use of QC Test Solutions or other accessories, but these are not included with the Product Qualification Packages.
