2. NEXGEN Four
All automated microplate processors today can perform the steps required to process an ELISA microplate test
However, most systems today operate specifically to their reagent menu and lack the capability to perform as a true open system
We allow you to choose your reagent systems
Competitive systems claim 4-plate capability
However, NO other system today can truly fulfill the claim of utilizing all 4 plates simultaneously, providing you faster turnaround of results
