Rayo

On-Deck Multi-Wavelength Reader for Automated Growth and ELISA Workflows

Modern laboratories are under constant pressure to improve workflow efficiency without compromising accuracy or. Rayo is designed specifically to meet this challenge. As an ultra-compact, deck-mounted microplate reader, Rayo brings reliable absorbance measurements directly onto commercial liquid handler, eliminating unnecessary plate transfers and freeing valuable bench space.

While Rayo can be a standalone instrument, it can also become a part of your automated workflow.

Multi-Wavelength Flexibility for Diverse Applications

Rayo supports up to four distinct wavelengths in a single compact device. This flexibility allows laboratories to run multiple assay types without switching instruments or reconfiguring hardware.

Your benefit:

1. Adapt quickly to new assay requirements
2. Support both research and diagnostic workflows
3. Consolidate instrumentation into one versatile reader
4. Increase ROI by covering more applications with one device

Whether monitoring OD600 for bacterial growth or reading ELISA absorbance at 450 nm, Rayo provides consistent, high-fidelity optical performance across standard 6-, 12-, 24-, and 96-well plates.

Maximize Deck Space Without Sacrificing Performance

Automation platforms are valuable real estate. Every deck position must justify its presence. With its patented clamp shell mechanism, Rayo fits within a single SBS slot, allowing you to integrate full microplate reading capability without redesigning your workflow or sacrificing other modules.

What this means for you:

1. Preserve deck capacity for additional automation tools
2. Reduce manual handling and workflow interruptions
3. Enable custom integrations with liquid handling devices
4. Maintain clean, organized laboratory layouts

You gain analytical power without expanding your footprint.

Run Assays Directly On-Deck

Traditional workflows often require moving plates off the liquid handler and into a separate reader. Each transfer introduces time delays, potential contamination risks, and workflow complexity. Rayo removes this bottleneck by enabling real-time measurements exactly where your samples are processed.

Ideal for:

1. Microbial growth curves and kinetic OD measurements
2. ELISA and colorimetric assays
3. Antibiotic susceptibility testing
4. Enzyme kinetics and metabolic assays

By keeping plates on deck, you improve reproducibility, reduce handling errors, and accelerate turnaround times.

Built for Modern Automated Labs

Rayo is purpose-built for automation-forward environments. Its compact form, reliable performance, and seamless deck integration make it particularly well suited for:

1. High-throughput screening labs
2. Microbiology and synthetic biology workflows
3. Biotech startups optimizing limited space
4. OEM partners designing integrated systems

By combining minimal footprint with meaningful assay flexibility, Rayo enables laboratories to do more with less—less space, less handling, and less workflow complexity.

Rayo delivers powerful absorbance analytics exactly where your automation already works—on the deck.
