APE ELITE is the latest version of ELISA analyzers capable of managing 10 methods in line with 4 microplates at different temperatures. It is equipped with a barcode reader for sample slides on board; an internal microplate shaker is also available on request. Its “user friendly” approach allows the operator to start working with the instrument as soon as it is out of the packaging, no calibration or adjustment is required.
