The SmartReader 96 comes complete with 4 popular filters: 405,450,492,630nm and twenty six additional filters are available separately to cover a full range from 340 to 750nm.  The integrated filter wheel allows up to 8 filters to be loaded at once, and filters can be selected during programming. Up to two filters can be used for 2 measurements of the sample plate, for calculated comparisons.  Kinetic calculations can be performed by setting multiple readings. The SmartReader 96 is a convenient stand alone reader, all software and the programing system is incorporated into the electronics. However, a convenient USB port on the side allows quick and easy saving of data files to a USB drive, and the universal .csv files can then be shared or transferred to a computer for storage or further processing.  A data port can be used for connecting a computer or basic printer.
