	Plate reader Information
		Plate readers (also know as microplate readers) are laboratory instruments designed to detect biological, chemical or physical events in samples stored in microtiter plates.
		An ELISA plate reader, for example, is used to measure the intensity of the colors formed in each wells.
		ELISPOT plate readers are used to count the colored spots that are formed in the course of ELISPOT assays.

	Microtiter plate reader - Patent 4710031
		The microtiter plate reader of claim 3 including a transparent overlay that is sandwiched between the light emitting surface and the bezel, and wherein the regions of reduced light emission are fl dots arrayed upon the transparent overlay.
		The microtiter plate reader of claim 4 wherein the transparent overlay is sandwiched between the light emitting surface and the bezel in sliding relation thereto, so that the fl dot array may be shifted relative to the location of the wells of a microtiter plate held within the window.
		The microtiter plate reader 10 is adapted for use with a conventional microtiter plate 14.

	PlateKi Manual - Chapter 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This is the case in those experimental situations where the enzyme assay involves (a) an equilibration with the inhibitor, (b) reaction with the substrate for a fixed period of time, and (c) end-point readout of a physical quantity such as radioactivity (cpm).
		The format attribute can have one of five values, corresponding to one of five different allowable formats of the raw plate reader data, as is explained in sections 2.5.8 through 2.5.12.
		This attribute determines whether the raw plate reader data is embedded in the PlateKi XML data file, or whether the data (e.g., text files exported from SoftMax) is contained in a separate text file.

	Plate Reader Output
		Plate reader data can be input into the program in one of several different formats:
		, it is assumed that the primary experimental data produced by the plate reader are initial reaction velocities, or some type of end-point measurement originating in a cell-based assay.
		The ability to define the background rate is important for example in the analysis of rotamase assays, or in the analysis or radioactive end-point assays of certain kinases.

	What To Look For In A Plate Reader - Biocompare Buying Tips
		As far as instruments go, a microplate reader is definitely not the most expensive item on most research labs' wish list, with the simplest machines going for around $6,000 and the higher end models costing over $20,000, but it might be one of the most versatile.
		If the decision has been made to purchase a plate reader, there are a few points worth considering before signing the purchase order.
		The goal of these considerations is to figure out exactly what you want the plate reader to be able to do prior to soliciting quotes.

	License Plate Recognition - A Tutorial
		LPR (License Plate Recognition) is an image-processing technology used to identify vehicles by their license plates.
		The car, with the plate number: W856RKX, is just exiting from the secured area and is picked up by the LPR system which identifies it as an authorized car and opens the gate.
		The rear vehicle plate is automatically extracted off the scanned film image, replacing a tedious manual operation and the need to develope and print the violation.

		Artefacts traced to the plate reader are shown in Figures 4–7
		Owing to lack of primary beam collimation on this lateral lumbar spine, the amount of unattenuated radiation striking the imaging plate (IP) (anterior and posterior to the patient) altered the histogram so that it was outside the normal range for that body part selection.

	plate reader
		Plates were laboriously examined for hybidomas using an inverted microscope or immunoassays were examined using a optical plate reader which produced a large paper report.
		Yet, usually all we really needed was a visual determination of which wells in a plate had the maximum hybridoma clonal growth or the strongest immunoassay color reaction.
		To solve this problem, we developed a convenient magnifying well reader for 24 or 96 well plates, as well for petri dishes.
