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
