Spotxel® Reader is an innovative app that turns smartphones into a high-quality microplate reader. This free app enables the reading and analysis of multiple samples in parallel plate formats:

• Capturing: Take a picture of the microplate.
• Reading: Detect and measure the color signal in the microplate wells.
• Analysis: Annotate the microplate, specify the assay’s standard concentrations, and derive the unknown concentrations.

The latest version of the app is also compatible with Windows platforms, allowing users to analyze microplate images on Windows computers and capture microplate images via a USB- or network-connected camera.

On smartphones, the app supports image analysis of assays with samples in row, column, or microarray formats.

To begin, install the app from the app store using the provided links. If you do not have a microplate yet, you can explore the app’s functionality using the sample image and the assay setup CSV file available in the Sample Data section.

Help topics are available within the app. Simply tap the ? icon on any page to display descriptions of the functions.

You can use the following sample plate image with one of the provided assay setup files in CSV format, depending on your locale format (decimal-point or decimal-comma):

• Plate Image
• Assay Setup (decimal-point numbers)
• Assay Setup (decimal-comma numbers)
