From cuvette to microplate: How to optimise microbial assays

Discover how to streamline workflows, boost throughput, and improve data quality. Learn practical tips to optimize your microbial assays and unlock the full potential of microplate-based measurements.

Microbiology relies on a wide range of assays—from OD600 growth measurements and reporter systems to the detection of metabolic pathways. This webinar shows how moving from cuvettes to microplates streamlines these workflows, reduces costs, and delivers far richer datasets.

Here, we highlight application examples from the field, introduce instrument features that support microbiological work, and share practical tips to circumvent common pitfalls to get the best out of your microplate reader. Join us to discover how thoughtful reader setup and optional tools can significantly improve the quality and consistency of your microbiological measurements.

What will you learn in this webinar:

  • Which advantages come with the transfer of microbial assays from cuvette to a microplate-based readout?
  • Which are the most important parameters for microbial assays and how do they impact the data output?
  • Which pitfalls exist for microplate reader-based microbial assays and how can they be circumvented?
  • How fellow scientists improve their microbial studies with the use of microplate readers
