Description
Product Overview
The MR9600-540 filter is a precision‑engineered component designed specifically for the Accuris Smart Reader 96 microplate absorbance spectrophotometer. Constructed from high‑quality optical glass, the filter provides a stable transmission window at 540 nm, ensuring that every measurement reflects true sample characteristics without drift or distortion.
Measuring 5 × 5 × 2 inches and weighing approximately 5 lb, the filter balances portability with robustness. Its rugged housing protects the delicate optical elements from accidental impacts, dust, and humidity, making it suitable for both bench‑top and field‑based laboratory workflows. The filter’s surface is coated with an anti‑reflective layer that minimizes stray light, enhancing signal‑to‑noise ratio for low‑concentration assays.
Compatibility is a core advantage: the MR9600-540 seamlessly slots into the Smart Reader 96’s filter carousel, requiring no additional adapters or calibration steps. The model number MR9600-540 is clearly etched on the front panel, simplifying inventory management and ensuring quick identification during routine maintenance.
Beyond its optical performance, the filter is engineered for ease of cleaning. The exterior can be gently wiped with a lint‑free cloth and mild solvent, preserving optical clarity over years of repeated use. This durability translates into lower total cost of ownership for laboratories that demand high‑throughput, repeatable results.
Accuris Instruments, the manufacturer, has a long history of delivering reliable spectrophotometric accessories. The MR9600-540 benefits from the company’s rigorous quality‑control processes, including batch testing for wavelength accuracy and transmission uniformity. Each unit is backed by a limited warranty, reinforcing confidence in long‑term performance.
Overall, the MR9600-540 filter combines precise wavelength selection, durable construction, and user‑friendly design, making it an essential upgrade for any lab seeking consistent absorbance measurements at the 540 nm region.

Usage
Laboratories that conduct colorimetric assays, enzyme kinetics, or pigment analysis will find the MR9600-540 filter indispensable. Its 540 nm passband aligns with the absorbance peaks of many common dyes, such as bromophenol blue and certain hemoglobin derivatives, enabling accurate quantification across a range of sample types.
In a typical workflow, the filter is installed in the Smart Reader 96’s filter compartment, after which the instrument automatically recognizes the new configuration. Users then load microplates containing their samples, and the spectrophotometer performs rapid scans, delivering data that can be exported directly to analysis software. The filter’s high transmission efficiency reduces the need for long integration times, accelerating throughput for high‑volume testing.
Because the filter is designed for stability, it performs reliably under varying laboratory temperatures, from 15 °C to 30 °C, without shifting its central wavelength. This makes it suitable for environments where temperature control is not absolute, such as teaching labs or field stations.
For quality‑control applications, the MR9600-540 can be paired with standard reference solutions to verify instrument performance on a daily basis. The filter’s consistent output ensures that any deviations are quickly identified, supporting compliance with regulatory standards like ISO 17025.

FAQ
What types of assays benefit most from the 540 nm filter?
The 540 nm band is ideal for assays involving bromophenol blue, hemoglobin derivatives, and many plant pigment measurements. It provides high sensitivity for any analyte whose absorbance peak lies near this wavelength, improving detection limits and reproducibility.
Can the MR9600-540 be used with other spectrophotometer models?
While the filter is optimized for the Accuris Smart Reader 96, it can be adapted to other instruments that accept standard 540 nm filter dimensions, provided the mounting interface matches. Users should verify compatibility with the instrument’s specifications before installation.
How often should the filter be cleaned or calibrated?
Routine cleaning with a lint‑free cloth and mild solvent is recommended after each week of intensive use. Calibration against a certified reference standard should be performed monthly to ensure wavelength accuracy remains within ±0.5 nm.
Is there a warranty or guarantee for the MR9600-540?
Yes, Accuris Instruments provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Should the filter fail under normal operating conditions, a replacement unit will be shipped at no additional cost.
What support is available if I encounter issues during installation?
Accuris offers direct technical assistance via phone or email, with response times typically under 24 hours. Installation guides, video tutorials, and a knowledge base are also accessible through the company’s website to help users troubleshoot common problems.
