The Laboratory Microplate Reader and Washer category supports laboratories that need to magnify, illuminate, image and measure features that cannot be assessed reliably with the unaided eye. The range spans routine bench requirements and more specialised applications where material choice, control and repeatability become especially important.
Optical configuration, contrast, working distance, camera resolution and sample preparation all affect what can be seen and measured. The practical choice therefore depends on working distance, illumination and contrast, camera and software, and sample format, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
A suitable system combines the microscope or optical instrument with illumination, objectives, sample holders, imaging and calibration matched to the specimen. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in life science, materials, electronics, education, pathology, manufacturing and quality-control laboratories. As part of the Microscopes & Optical Instruments for Labs range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Microplate Reader and Washer range
Our collection covers a microplate reader and a washer, assays are these readers compatible with, microplate readers calibration, cleaning and maintenance, and microplate readers accessories and workflow integration, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
A microplate reader and a washer
A microplate reader is an optical instrument used to detect biological, chemical, or physical events in samples in a microplate, while a washer is used to clean and remove unbound reagents from the plate wells during an assay. Selection should take account of working distance, illumination and contrast, and camera and software. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories capture clear, repeatable observations and measurements from the specimen types used in the laboratory. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
Assays are these readers compatible with
The LTEK INNO series is primarily designed for absorbance-based assays, which are standard for ELISA, protein quantification (e.g., Bradford or BCA), and cell viability tests. Key differences are usually found in illumination and contrast, camera and software, and sample format. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. This is especially valuable when teams need to capture clear, repeatable observations and measurements from the specimen types used in the laboratory. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Laboratory Microplate Reader and Washer calibration, cleaning and maintenance
The CappWash series is a manual, non-electric plate washer that operates via a vacuum source, making it highly portable and ideal for labs with limited bench space. The most suitable format depends on camera and software, sample format, and magnification range. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories capture clear, repeatable observations and measurements from the specimen types used in the laboratory. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
Laboratory Microplate Reader and Washer accessories and workflow integration
Using a specialised test plate like the LTEK INNO-Q allows you to perform routine quality control checks to verify the absorbance accuracy and linearity of your instrument. Selection should take account of sample format, magnification range, and resolution. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories capture clear, repeatable observations and measurements from the specimen types used in the laboratory. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
