2. Function

2.1. Introduction

The MR-96 Microplate Reader is an 8-channel optical measuring system, which can be used to

measure the density of vertical light. It is a specialized analyzer to hold ELISAs and then take

readings and process data.

The MR-96 adopts the touch screen which is comfortable to operate.

With the advanced high speed microprocessor in the world and man-machine conversation

design on the software, the MR-96 makes the operation simpler and more convenient, result

calculation quicker and waiting time of operator much shorter.

c) Neg. Range: When the absorbance exceeds the required range, the device will calculate

automatically with the negative control limit you have set.

d) Pos. Range: When the absorbance exceeds the required range, the device will calculate

automatically with the positive control limit you have set.

e) Validity Confirm 1-3: Set the range of absorbance for blank wells, positive and negative

control wells. The device will not calculate results when the absorbance exceeds the

range.

3) Quant Calculation: Some parameters are added on the basis of qualitative settings, such as

STD Concentration, Unit, Reference, Calibration Rule and Factor. Please make settings as

instructed by the package insert.

a) STD Concentration: You can set the concentrations of up to 8 standards. When setting,

you should begin with 1 from low concentration to high concentration. If No. of standards

is less than 8, you must set the remaining concentrations to 0.

b) Unit: Enter the concentration unit of the selected test.

c) Reference H: Enter the upper limit for the selected test.

d) Reference L: Enter the lower limit for the selected test.

e) Calibration Rule (C - Concentration, A - Absorbance, k - Slope, b - Intercept)

Factor

Formula: A =kC +b.

k and b should be entered by the operator manually.

One Point Linear

A标
Formula: A =kC, K =
C标

This calibration rule requires only one standard to obtain the parameter k.

Two Point Linear

A2 − A1 A − A1
Formula: A =kC+b, K = , b = A1 − ( 2 )C1
C 2 − C1 C 2 − C1

This calibration rule requires two standards. C1 and C2 are concentrations of standard 1

and 2; A1 and A2 are their absorbance.

- 11 -
 MR-96 Microplate Reader Operation Manual(2.0)

Multipoint Linear

Formula: A =kC+b.

You can get values of k and b through the method of least squares.

This calibration rule requires at least 3 standards.

Nonlinear

3.6.5. Filter

The MR-96 reads the air blank absorbance of each filter in the 4 channels (F5 is spare), which is used to

check the photometric system. The default absorbance of the 405 - 630 filters is less than 0.500. However,

it may increase gradually in the result of dust, humidification and moldiness when the device is used for a

long time. If the absorbance is greater than 1.000, you should clean the photometric system or replace the

accessories like the filters.
