Clinical overview
The RT-2100C Microplate Reader represents a significant advancement in laboratory automation for clinical diagnostics, research, and quality control applications. As microplate-based assays have become central to modern laboratory medicine—from ELISA immunoassays to colorimetric clinical chemistry—reliable, accurate plate readers are essential infrastructure. The RT-2100C combines professional-grade optical performance with user-friendly Windows operation, delivering the speed and accuracy demanded by high-volume diagnostic laboratories while remaining accessible to smaller facilities and research institutions.
Bichromatic absorbance measurement distinguishes the RT-2100C from entry-level readers. Rather than measuring at a single wavelength, the dual-wavelength system reads each well at both a primary wavelength (where the analyte absorbs) and a reference wavelength (where it does not), then automatically subtracts background interference. This sophisticated approach eliminates optical errors caused by sample turbidity, lipemia, hemolysis, and icterus—common challenges in clinical serum samples that compromise single-wavelength accuracy. The result is clinically reliable measurements even in difficult samples, with ±0.003 Abs accuracy across the 0–2.000 Abs range meeting or exceeding specifications of substantially more expensive readers.
The 5-second full-plate reading speed transforms laboratory workflow efficiency. Clinical laboratories processing 50–100 ELISA plates daily save significant time—a 30-second reader requires 25–50 minutes daily just for scanning, while the RT-2100C completes the same work in 4–8 minutes. This time savings allows existing staff to process higher sample volumes, reduces overtime costs, and shortens turnaround times for assays requiring same-day reporting. The rapid scanning also minimizes plate exposure time, reducing evaporation effects in open wells and improving measurement consistency.
