 Multimode microplate readers include different detection modes. From absorbance to fluorescence, researchers can choose the mode that best suits the application. |  The right gain setting enhances the signal-to-background ratio and measurement sensitivity. Adjust the gain to ensure proper recording of all data points in a run. |
 Microplates come in different formats, colors, and well shapes. Select the right plate to increase signal-to-background ratios and improve measurement sensitivity. |  Flash settings influence total measurement times and data quality. Select an appropriate flash number to reduce variability and ensure reliable and accurate data. |
 Measuring from above or below the microplate well has different advantages. Choose the reading direction based on factors that affect target localization in the well. |  Tunable focal height ensures the best results. Adjust the microplate reader to detect the focal plane where the intensity of the sample signal is at its highest. |
