OVERVIEW
The BP808 Microplate Reader has all the features of a modern microplate reader providing ready programmed assay protocols for Biohit Elisa diagnostics. Integrated keypad with LCD-display supported by menu-driven software with extensive on-board data analysis. Eight channel optics provides fast read time for kinetic applications.

ON-BOARD DATA ANALYSIS
Simple to use and program via the reader soft-keys and a 2 x 24 LCD display, the BP808's on-board data reduction capabilities surpass that of most PC software packages:
  • Extensive curve fitting:
    • Linear
    • 2-P (logit/log)
    • Cubic
    • Quadratic
    • 4-P
    • Cubic-spline
    • Point-to-point
  • Auto or manual plate layout for blanks, controls,
    standards, and samples
  • Printed results in matrix, column, or both formats

FLEXIBLE FORMULAS
Enter up to 15 complete formulas per assay:
  • Control, blanking, and assay validation formulas
  • Transformation formulas
  • General formulas
  • 55 programmable assays onboard the BP808 which can be recalled instantly
  • Up to 8 microplate test results saved in the reader's memory
  • Stores up to 40 standard curves

APPLICATIONS
As a stand-alone microplate reader, the BP808 is designed for applications within the following areas:
  • Agricultural
  • Biotechnology research
  • Cell biology, counting, proliferation
  • Clinical
  • ELISA
  • Environmental
  • Food processing
