MR9600-520 Filter for Smart Reader 96 Microplate – Accuris 520nm

Description

Product Overview

The MR9600-520 filter is a precision optical component engineered specifically for the Smart Reader 96 microplate absorbance spectrophotometer. Manufactured by Accuris Instruments, this filter delivers a narrow 520 nm bandpass that enhances the accuracy of absorbance readings across a wide range of biochemical assays. Constructed from high‑quality optical glass, the filter provides excellent transmission efficiency while minimizing stray light and optical artifacts. Its compact form factor—measuring 5 × 5 × 2 inches and weighing only 5 lb—fits seamlessly into the reader’s filter slot, ensuring a secure and stable fit without the need for additional adapters. The model number MR9600-520 is clearly stamped on the housing, allowing for easy inventory management and replacement tracking. Designed for durability, the filter’s housing is resistant to common laboratory chemicals and temperature fluctuations, extending its service life in demanding research environments.

Usage

This filter is ideal for laboratories that perform high‑throughput microplate assays, including enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), kinetic enzyme studies, and colorimetric screening. The 520 nm wavelength is particularly suited for detecting common chromogenic substrates such as TMB, ABTS, and OPD, providing clear and reproducible signal intensity. Users can install the filter in minutes by opening the Smart Reader 96’s filter compartment, aligning the MR9600-520’s keying notch, and securing the latch. Once installed, the spectrophotometer automatically recognizes the filter and adjusts its calibration parameters, eliminating the need for manual wavelength setting. The filter’s robust construction makes it suitable for continuous operation in core facilities, academic labs, and industrial R&D settings where reliability and repeatability are paramount. Its lightweight design also facilitates easy transport between workstations or field sites when portable spectrophotometric analysis is required.
