PHOMO
is a state of the art microplate reader, designed to meet the demanding requirements of today’s microplate based, photometric applications.
Special Features
Reliability:
Using a state of the art LED light-source together with automatic calibration and adjustment, the design of PHOMO assures reliable measurement performance and minimum maintenance.
High resolution scanning:
The sophisticated optical design combined with the accurate plate transport system allows for high resolution scanning (29 points per well) to support agglutination assays.
Speed:
With a repetition rate of 5 seconds (8 seconds for dual wavelength) PHOMO doesn‘t keep you waiting for your results and enables fast kinetic measurements.
Accommodates 96- and 48-well microplates:
The plate carrier system is designed to accommodate all kinds of 96- and 48-well microplates without an additional adaptor required.
Automation:
Front loading system for easy access by robotic systems. If necessary the front panel can be easily removed.
AUTOsoft - control and evaluation software
PHOMO comes with AUTOsoft, Windows® based software, designed to control for PHOMO and LUMO.
The flexibility and user friendliness of AUTOsoft allows test programming and data evaluation protocols covering the range from routine to complex scientific research.
AUTOsoft provides the following features:
- User Administration with 2 different authorization levels.
- Quantitative evaluation: Curve fits (linear regression, point to point, cubic spline and 4 parameter fit) with linear and logarithmic axis scaling and extrapolation options. Stored reference curves are supported.
- Qualitative analysis: based on up to 3 cut off values can be used to assign samples to up to 4 different groups.
- Assay validation to verify correct assay performance.
- Data Storage in database and export to text files.
- Patient data / result management and sample based reporting including recording of external results.
- Reagent batch management
- Multi-test evaluation for up to 12 different assays on one plate.
- Internal Quality Control
- Closed system architecture for OEMs (optional)
