The Apollo 11 is characterized by optimized optics as well as a LED light source, which has a long lifetime. Up to six filters can be used including DNA quantification, protein quantification, enzyme activities, β-galactosidase (reporter gene), alkaline phosphatase (ELISA), and horseradish peroxidase (ELISA). Besides a dynamic range of 3.7 OD, the optics and the mechanical design together with the integrated auto-check function help promote accuracy and precision.
