*For easy handling we developed a 96-channel puncher, the Eli.Punch with dedicated adhesives, to prepare the plate for reading within 10 seconds.The advantage of punching is that it not only offers the possibility to use the inexpensive Eli.Scan, but also foils can easily be stored using minimal space (they can even be included in the lab journal).


A universal plate scanner now suitable for ELISPOT, Plaque assays, colony counting, IFUSPOT and can be used for 6 / 12 / 24 / 48 and 96 well plates.
