Needed for reading TNF-α and Hcy ELISA plates. Looked on eBay but most affordable readers are either broken, incomplete, or sellers do not guarantee that the readers do anything but turning on.
I think the cheapest microtiter plate reader is made in China. this type instrument is very normal, for the ELISA test with the absorbence at 450 nm. Its price is usually $200-300, the most popular one is MK3 reader from thermo. you can find it in U.S.
I have seen you are located in the US, Hans., in this case I would suggest, as Roberto was also telling you, to ask a a quotation to Awareness. Because at the end when you would need tech help they are close to you.
