Section 4. Operation
4.1 Instrument Overview
The Model 680 Microplate Reader has built-in software that allows the user to set the plate
reading and data analysis conditions as a protocol data, read a microplate under the defined
reading conditions, and get the printout reports from the internal or external printer. The
software communicates through the 4-line, 20-character LCD and is controlled through the
instrument's membrane keypad.
The display shows the current mode of the on-board software. The software has three
different protocol types: End-point analysis, Kinetic analysis, and the Checkmark validation
protocols. The user presses the Memory Recall key to select analysis mode passing through
the choice of the protocol or the collected data.
