Great system for automating microplate testing!

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

ImmunoDiagnostics

The Thunderbolt is a great little system to automate micro plate testing. It is fairly easy to program and use, is not wasteful of supplies and reagents, is easy to maintain, and takes up very little space. GSD is very helpful and responsive. I definitely recommend this product and vendor.

Really useful time saving piece of equipment!

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Analyze enzyme concentrations in agricultural feed samples

This product saves time when performing ELISA tests in the laboratory. Once it is switched on, it can be left to run although sometimes alarm can go off that require attention. It is an expensive piece of equipment and requires regular servicing but improves accuracy in every day tasks.
