    Tecan Infinite 200. || The SUNRISE instrument is a 96-well absorbance reader for the measurement of light absorbance (optical density) of liquid media. The instrument is intended to be used primarily in in-vitro diagnostic analysis of samples from the human body to obtain information on physiological and pathological states. For applications in human clinical diagnostic uses, only the Magellan Tracker software is intended for the use with the instrument.
