Apollo 11 – ELISA and more …
Bad Wildbad, Germany, April 2014
Berthold Technologies offers a dedicated absorbance reader again: the Apollo 11.
The instrument is characterized by a long-time proven and continuously optimized optics as well as
a modern LED light source which has a principally endless lifetime. Up to 6 filters can be used with
the instrument enabling the performance of all important applications as there are

DNA quantification

Protein quantification

Enzyme activities

β-Galactosidase (reporter gene)

Alkaline Phosphatase (ELISA)

Horseradish Peroxidase (ELISA)

Cell viability and cell growth
Besides a large dynamic range of 3.7 OD – which covers customary assay more than enough – the
sophisticated optics and the robust mechanical design together with the integrated auto-check
function guarantee extraordinary accuracy and precision.
A very small footprint similar to a letter format and the PhotoRead software showing all necessary
settings and displays needed during operation on a single screen are additional attractive features
of the Apollo 11.
