The RT-2100C is a high-performance bio-separation and analytical instrument primarily used for absorbance-based assays (e.g., ELISA), quantitative nucleic acid/protein measurements and other laboratory applications requiring precise microplate absorbance readings.
Read-out range: 0–3.500 Abs. Displayed resolution: 0.001 Abs; calculated resolution: 0.0001 Abs, enabling detection of a wide range of sample concentrations with high precision.
Standard wavelengths: 405, 450, 492 and 630 nm. Four additional optional filters are available. Wavelength accuracy is ±2.0 nm and band width is <10 nm.
The RT-2100C uses a halogen lamp, which provides consistent, broad-spectrum illumination suitable for multiple visible wavelengths. Halogen lamps have stable output but will require periodic replacement per the maintenance schedule.
A single-wavelength read of a full 96-well plate takes approximately 5 seconds. Multi-wavelength reads will take longer depending on the number of wavelengths and plate settings.
Built-in calculation modes include ABS, cut-off, curve fit, linear regression, index regression, logarithm regression and exponential regression, among others for flexible data analysis.
Internal memory supports up to 100 protocols/programs, 1,000 patient records and 10,000 sample records.
Data can be transferred using RS-232, USB and SD card interfaces. An external printer is available as an optional accessory for hard-copy output.
Yes — the RT-2100C has an adjustable shaking plate. Shaking time and speed can be set to suit various assay protocols; see the user manual for recommended ranges and settings for specific assays.
The instrument features a large LCD and supports touch-screen input. You can also control it using a connected mouse or external keyboard.
Routine maintenance includes periodic cleaning of the optical path, verifying alignment, and replacing the halogen lamp when output declines. Perform regular wavelength and absorbance calibration using certified reference standards and follow the calibration procedures in the user manual or contact the manufacturer for service/calibration support.
The RT-2100C supports standard microplates (96-well). For use with cuvettes, strips or other formats, consult the accessory options or your supplier for compatible adapters.
Yes — in addition to the four standard filters (405, 450, 492, 630 nm), there are four optional filters available. Contact your supplier to select and install optional filters appropriate for your assays.
Follow standard laboratory safety: avoid direct viewing of the light source, disconnect power before servicing, use appropriate PPE when handling biological samples, and follow decontamination procedures for spills. Refer to the user manual for full safety instructions.
Check the troubleshooting section in the user manual for common issues (e.g., no signal, error messages). For advanced support, calibration, training, replacement parts or warranty details, contact the manufacturer's technical support or your local distributor.
