Microplate Reader
Model BP 800


FEATURES
The BP 800 is an extremely flexible microplate reader offering:
  • Multiple plate format capability
  • Extensive on-board data reduction and analysis
  • Storage of up to 75 custom assay definitions
  • Ability to save as many as 8 microplate result sets
  • On-board diagnostic protocols for the testing of optical and performance specifications

OVERVIEW
The BP 800 Microplate Reader has all the features of a modern microplate reader providing ready programmed assay protocols for Biohit diagnostics. Reads 24/48/96- well microplates. 384-well or 72/96-well Terasaki plates are supported by the NB-model. The standard unit includes four filters in the range of 400 nm to 750 nm. 340 nm filter optics is supported by the UV-model.
Extensive on-board data analysis includes:
  • Seven curve-fitting options
  • Transformation, control and assay validation formulas
  • Stores up to 40 standard curves
  • Stores 55 assay definitions (up to 75 custom assays)
  • Saves up to 8 microplate test results

ON-BOARD DATA ANALYSIS
Simple to use and program via the reader soft-keys and a 2 x 24 LCD display, the BP 800’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.
15 complete formulas per assay
  • Control, blanking, and assay validation formulas
  • Transformation formulas
  • Cut off formulas

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
The BP 800 on-board diagnostics include the following:
  • Optics self-test checks for proper light intensity automatically and reports results
  • The Universal test plate assesses accuracy, linearity and repeatability

APPLICATIONS
As a stand-alone microplate reader, the BP 800 is suitable for applications within the following areas:
  • Clinical
  • Biotechnology research
  • Food processing
  • Environmental
  • Agricultural

IQ/OQ/PQ procedure manuals and calibration plates are available as accessories for instrument validation. The accessory software packages are CFR21 Part II compliant as per FDA requirements
