MRX Series
(Microplate Reader)
MRX Series is a UV-Vis microplate reader designed for precise quantitative analysis and flexible assay setup in research, QC, and educational environments.
Equipped with a xenon flash lamp and monochromator-based optics, it delivers full-spectrum measurements across the 190–1,100 nm wavelength range without requiring optical filters.
Overview – MRX Series
The MRX Series features a monochromator-based optical system with photodiode detection, enabling wavelength selection in 1 nm increments and simultaneous measurement at up to eight wavelengths.
Designed for research, quality control (QC), and educational laboratories, it supports a wide range of absorbance-based assays with broad plate compatibility (6 to 384 well plate) and flexible measurement capabilities.
Designed for Everyday Laboratory Use
Combining full-spectrum measurement, high-throughput performance, and intuitive software, the MRX Series provides a practical solution for routine absorbance-based assays in research and quality control laboratories.
Key Benefits
Full-Spectrum Measurement
Covers the full UV-Vis range (190–1,100 nm) using a monochromator-based optical system, enabling flexible wavelength selection without the need for optical filters.
High-Throughput Performance
Fast plate reading speeds (up to 8 seconds for a 96-well plate) support high sample throughput in busy laboratory environments.
Multiple Read Modes for Diverse Assays
Multiple read modes—including Endpoint, Kinetic, Spectral Scanning, and Well Area Scanning—support a wide range of absorbance-based assays, from ELISA to enzyme kinetics.
Accurate Quantification and Data Analysis
Advanced curve fitting models and statistical analysis tools support accurate, reproducible, and reliable quantitative results.
Integrated Software and Workflow Control
Built-in shaking, incubation, and intuitive software simplify method setup, automation, and data management within a single platform.

Measurement Mode Configuration
Microvolume Measurement Accessory: MVP16 (Optional)
With the optional MVP16 Microvolume Plate (16-well), the MRX Series enables direct measurement of sample volumes as low as 2 µL without dilution, making it ideal for nucleic acid and protein quantification.
Dedicated analysis modes are available for rapid and convenient measurements:
Well Selection & Measurement Control
Flexible well selection and sample assignment enable intuitive setup of sample types and dilution conditions within the plate layout.
Measurements can be performed only on selected wells, reducing measurement time and reagent consumption while improving workflow efficiency.
Plate Layout & Dilution Setup
Intuitive plate layout design with color-coded well assignment allows rapid configuration of Standards, Blanks, Unknowns, and Controls.
Automated dilution series generation and sample-specific dilution settings simplify assay preparation, improve consistency, and reduce manual errors.
Advanced Quantification & Analysis
Built-in curve fitting, statistical analysis, and visualization tools support accurate quantification and efficient data interpretation. Dedicated analysis modules further extend functionality for advanced applications such as enzyme kinetics and endotoxin testing.
Applications
The MRX A2000 is designed for a wide range of life science applications, including ELISA, enzyme activity analysis, endotoxin testing, and nucleic acid and protein quantification.
With support for various assay formats and measurement modes, it is well-suited for research, quality control, and routine laboratory workflows, such as biomarker analysis, drug response studies, and cell-based assays.
