Stratus Kinetic Microplate Reader
The stratus kinetic microplate reader is small and rugged enabling you to continuously monitor measurements even from small spaces and restrictive environments. And now with our wireless accessory package, you can livestream your experiments.
uniquely designed for microbial growth curve measurements
small
perfect size for measurement collection in small spaces like shared modular benchtops, incubators and anaerobic chambers.
portable
stratus’s uniquely simple, standalone interface and on-board data storage allow it to be placed anywhere, with or without a computer.
Rugged
stratus can operate in restrictive environments that are typically too harsh for other microplate readers.

labrador companion software allows you to retrieve, analyze and communicate results with ease

Livestream your experiments
When stratus is paired with our canopy wireless accessory, we can provide convenient and real-time data acquisition, monitoring and control.
