Fig. 13   SpectraMax 340 Microplate Spectrophotometer

Function/capability:

  • Measure fluid volumes of "endpoint" and "kinetic" optical density from a 96-multiwell plate
  • Wavelength from 340-850nm, temperature regulation can range from ambient + 4°C to 45°C
  • Applications for ELISA, Enzyme assays, colorimetric protein, growth curve of organisms

Research projects (principal researcher) involved:

  • Growth curve assays and PAFE (Post-antifungal Effect) studies
    (Prof LP Samaranyake, Dr YH Samaranayake)

Recent publications:

  • Shu M, Ellepola AN, Samaranayake LP. Effects of two different growth media on the postantifungal effect induced by polyenes on Candida species. 2001. J Clin Microbiol. 39(7):2732-5.
