Awareness Technology Stat Fax 3300 Chemistry Analyzer

Description

The Awareness Technology Stat Fax 3300 Microplate Reader is designed to read and calculate the results of in-vitro diagnostic assays. Equipped with a large graphical display, the reader provides absorbance and concentration readings at or near the available wavelength. The flexible Stat Fax 3300 is equipped with multiple, self-prompting operating modes to meet the varying demands and requirements of any facility. The modes include Absorbance Mode, Standard Mode, Rate Mode, Factor Mode, Multi-point Mode, and Index Mode. Moreover, the instrument accepts standard 12 mm round tubes as well as 1 cm square cuvettes.
