Plate reader applications

I decided to come up with a list of applications that the UV instrument listed here can be used for. It's actually a combo plate reader that uses a variety of filters and light sources such that it can be used for both visible light and fluorescent assay applications.

The applications that I came up with are as follows: ELISPOT assays, FluoroSpot assays, microbial load testing, sterility testing, bioburden testing, stem cell assays, viral plaque counting, clonogenic assays, cell counting (fluoroscent and visible light), apoptosis tests, cell viability tests, cytotoxicity tests, virus neutralization assays, genotoxic assays, and SBA assays.
