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
perfect size for measurement collection in small spaces like shared modular benchtops, incubators and anaerobic chambers.
stratus’s uniquely simple, standalone interface and on-board data storage allow it to be placed anywhere, with or without a computer.
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
- intuitive, easy to use interface
- all the features you need, none of the features you don’t
- zero to experiment in 10 minutes!
- quickly and accurately analyze your data and generate meaningful results.
