2020 Microplate Readers The Biochrom Anthos 2020 is an economically priced, easy-to-use microplate reader for 96 well plates, quick to set up and requiring minimal training. The simple, robust microplate reader has no un-necessary features and is ideally suited to labs with multi-level users, where space is limited and no PC is available. Four filters are supplied as standard that cover common absorbance assays. Filters from 400 up to 750 nm can be purchased separately when more specialised assays are required.
