The instruments are fully automatic, microprocessor controlled readers
designed for professional use for in vitro diagnostic applications, enabling the
user to measure the light absorbance (optical density) of samples in 96 well
microplates according to the specifications described in this publication.

instructions for use, for storage and for other manipulations in connection
with samples or reagents must be strictly followed. Taking this fact into
consideration, results must be interpreted carefully.
By reading twelve wells simultaneously, the instrument is able to measure a
microplate in approximately six seconds.
The obtained transmission values are converted into OD values according to the
following formula:
