The MPR-96 Microplate Reader extends the Halo range to facilitate higher throughput analyses of experiments consisting of an array of micro-volume reactions typically in a 96 well plate format. Naturally the MPR-96 features the same ruggedness, reliability, precision and reproducibility synonymous with the Halo family.
The Halo MPR-96 also comes standard with a comprehensive selection of on-board functions for versatility and suitability to many analytical and biological applications. Use either in stand alone mode or connect to a PC to maximize flexibility.
‘Built Lab Tough’ defines Dynamica’s policy to engineer and build scientific instrumentation to the highest levels of quality, performance, resilience and durability.
Superior Performance
The Halo MPR-96 boasts a market leading absorbance range between 0 - 4 OD which is further complemented by linearity of ±1% up to 2.5 OD (405nm). The excellent measurement uniformity across all wells is matched by an intra- and inter-plate variation of ±0.010 OD (405nm, 0-2 OD) for maximum accuracy and reproducibility.
Other specifications include 8 measurement channels and 1 reference channel to expedite processing coupled with a swift read time of 10 seconds per 96 wells thus ensuring reliable data during kinetic analyses.
An optional calibration plate can also be employed to certify various regulatory compliances or validate other practices such as precision assurance.
Exceptional Wavelength Range
The flexible filter based system allows for measurements within a spectrum range from 400nm through to a maximum of 750nm. Model MPR-96UV extends the measurement to 340nm UV range.
Additionally, the large selection of interference filters caters for the most common and critical wavelengths. Up to 5 interference filters can be mounted on the carousel which is easily accessible for effortless and quick replacement of filters if the need arises.
Versatile by Nature
The exceptional capability of the Halo MPR-96 imparts the flexibility to perform
the simplest of functions such as the generation of raw data and qualitative evaluations through to more complex functions involving kinetics and curve fits (select from linear, point to point, quadric, cubic or logistic types).
The Halo MPR-96 accepts 96 well microplates in flat bottom as well as U and V shaped configurations. The unit can also be automated for high throughput by integrating compatible robotic handling systems.

Diverse Range of Measurement Modes
Select from ‘Fast’ mode when quick measurement is required (for example screening applications) to ‘Accurate’ mode when high resolution is necessary.
Other modes include:
- ‘Centre Measurement’ to detect small samples with a non-linear surface.
- Single or dual wavelengths.
- Plate shaking (4 speeds, linear motion) before measurement or in- between cycles (for example during kinetic analyses).
User friendly operation and information rich LCD display
The 90mm x 68mm, backlit LCD screen with adjustable brightness control is sufficiently large to display a comprehensive array of data even in a graphical format, for example up to 48 wells i.e. half of a 96 well plate can be displayed concurrently with the added capability to zoom in on specific data points. Other displayed parameters in addition to measurement results include operation prompts, plate layout and historical data.
The seamless and chemical resistant keypad is designed for easy and quick selection of the navigation and function features when in stand alone mode whilst simultaneously protecting against any laboratory spills.
Stand Alone Or PC Operation
The Halo MPR-96 is fully equipped and capable of executing all functions in stand alone mode. Simply connect a compatible printer to the USB port for the direct printout of plate data, reports and graphs (please visit our website for updated list of printers). For more advanced functions, analyses and reporting, the Halo MPR-96 can also be connected via USB ports to a
PC (preferred with Windows® XPTM Pro operating system) for direct control with the optional software.
On-Board Storage Data
The Halo MPR-96 (in stand alone mode) boasts on-board flash memory for the storage of up to 30 test programs and up to 50 sets of plate measurement data. Programs and measurement data can easily be recalled, edited and deleted. Furthermore, plate measurement data can be readily downloaded to USB2.0 supported external memory devices (for example memory sticks or external hard- disks) for transfer and further processing to a computer supporting commercial spreadsheets (such as Microsoft® ExcelTM).
