Features of ELx808
  • Extensive on-board data analysis, including     o Data transformation formulas     o Assay and control validation     o Curve-fitting options: linear, 4-P, 2-P (logit/log), cubic, quadratic, cubic spline, point-to-point     o Multiple assays per plate    
  • Fast Kinetics     o Measurements in intervals as short as 6 seconds     o Kinetic rate, R2 or onset time reported without needing a PC    
  • Linear well scanning for agglutination assays    
  • 4-Zone™ Temperature Control     o Incubation to 50ºC     o Improved reproducibility in enzyme kinetic reactions     o Enhanced uniformity through independently monitored heaters     o Unique heated track/carrier design for minimal evaporation and edge effect    
  • Superior optical design     o Incorporates a staggered optical design to eliminate channel-to-channel crosstalk     o Reference channel rolls optical signal for uniform channel-to-channel signal
