What is the processing capacity (throughput) of the Biomaster JUNIOR?
Any calculation of the throughput of an instrument is a variable that is not applicable to an open instrument (ELISA techniques have different incubation times). Nevertheless, as it is sometimes necessary to give an approximate figure, let us try to calculate a logical value. The majority of Biokit techniques have incubation times of 60+30+30, a total of 2 hours of incubation. This value must then be increased by the time taken by the instrument in dispensing samples, washing, dispensing reagents and taking readings. These times depend on the volumes to be dispensed and the number of samples but to make calculations easier, they could be estimated as one hour (it is really about 45 minutes for a full plate). The capacity of a plate is 96 wells, if we eliminate the wells for controls and standards, processing involves 90 samples, but there are two plates so the total is 180 samples. This means that the throughput would be 180 samples in 3 hours = 60 samples per hour. This is only an app
