Microplate Photometer HiPo MPP-96 is a compact tabletop device for analysing the
results of ELISA and microbiological studies by measuring optical density in 96-well microplates. Instrument is controlled by and outputs data to computer.
Scheme 1. Optical scheme of the unit
HiPo MPP-96 is supplied with analysis software QuantAssay. Software performs a
single scanning with option of a second scanning on reference channel available. When
using QuantAssay, it is possible to program the analysis of the following assays:
Quantitative assays: the ability to install up 20 standards and choose fit model from
5/4 parameter logistic, linear and piecewise linear models.
BestFit function for the selection of the best calibration curve.
Multiplex analysis - up to 7 different tests on the same plate.
Qualitative assays: the ability to install up to 8 types of controls (weak positive, strong
positive, negative, etc.).
Avidity / affinity assay.
Save, load and export results.
Create visual reports.
Together with standard light filters (with wavelengths of 405, 450, 492, 620 nm), it is
possible to order light filters in the range from 400 to 700 nm, installed by manufacturer. See
the list on page 12 in the Specifications section.

5. Unit verification
5.1. Checking the calibration.
If the user have any doubts in measuring precision, he may perform a basic control
check as follows:
5.1.1. No microplate method.
Remove microplate and close the lid. Perform measurement according to p. 4.4. Re-
sults should be between -0.003 and 0.005.
5.1.2. Clean microplate method.
Place a clean and empty microplate in the unit, and close the lid. Perform measure-
ment according to p. 4.4. Results should be between 0.030 and 0.060.
Note. For further information, please consult with the software operation
manual.
5.2. Using the verification microplate.
Precision of the unit is verified by the certified verification plate. Verification certificate
is enclosed in the standard set and is valid one year from verification date.
All verification procedures must be performed only by qualified and specially trained
personnel.
Note. Neutral filter absorbance of MULTISKAN™ verification plates varies
from plate to plate, so we include an option to set the details of your
own verification plate. To edit the details, please consult with the software operation manual, paragraph Editing a verification plate.
5.2.1. Lift the lid and place the verification plate on the sliding platform, then close the lid.
5.2.2. To run the certification test, you need to enter the developer mode. To do so, in soft-
ware, open a new experiment, focus on the table “Cell, Name, Sample Name, Type”
(fig. 4) by left clicking on the table area, and press Ctrl + N.
