The MR9610-CAL is the dedicated calibration plate for the Accuris MR9610 and MR9611 SmartReader UV-Vis Microplate Absorbance Readers — a precision-manufactured plate with NIST-traceable absorbance standards used to verify and calibrate the chassis's absorbance accuracy across its UV-Vis wavelength range. Distinct from the MR9600-CAL (calibration plate for the MR9600 base SmartReader) by the broader wavelength range and higher OD range that the UV-Vis chassis supports.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): Brochure context for MR9610-CAL specifically is sparse in the available Accuris catalog corpus. Inferred per standard microplate-reader calibration-plate conventions; confirm specific NIST traceability documentation, calibration wavelengths covered, recertification interval, and software-integration workflow at first order.

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
Plate pairing — MR9610 / MR9611 SmartReader UV-Vis chassis only. Order this SKU when:
- Initial chassis commissioning — institutional QM-managed labs commission a new MR9610 or MR9611 with a paired calibration plate.
- Periodic recertification — calibration plates have a finite shelf life; replacement plates are needed at the recertification date.
- Multi-site QM consistency — multi-site operations standardize on a single calibration plate per chassis.
- Audit-trail requirements — labs operating under FDA, ISO, or similar QM frameworks where periodic instrument calibration is part of the audit-trail requirement.
Note: MR9600 vs MR9610 distinct calibration plates. The MR9600 base SmartReader uses MR9600-CAL; the UV-Vis MR9610 / MR9611 chassis uses MR9610-CAL. The plates are not interchangeable — confirm chassis match before ordering.
Application Profile
Institutional clinical-research and clinical labs — operations under FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025, GLP, or similar QM frameworks where microplate-reader periodic calibration is part of the audit-trail requirement.
Hospital reference labs — clinical chemistry and immunoassay labs running UV-Vis measurements where MR9610 / MR9611 absorbance accuracy directly affects patient-result quality.
Pharma R&D and bioprocess QC labs — drug-discovery primary-screen and bioprocess-QC workflows where instrument calibration is part of the QM workflow.
Academic core facilities — shared MR9610 / MR9611 instruments where periodic calibration documentation supports user-charge billing and QM reporting.
Ordering & Configuration
Calibration workflow. Insert the calibration plate into the MR9610 or MR9611, run the chassis's calibration software routine, review the calibration report against the manufacturer accuracy spec, document in the institutional QM log, and store the plate per Accuris instructions.
Recertification interval. Calibration plates have a finite shelf life; confirm the recertification interval at first order (typical 1-2 years per standard convention).
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (MR9610 or MR9611 in inventory), specific NIST traceability documentation needs, recertification interval, calibration software workflow integration, institutional QM framework requirements, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard warranty terms for calibration accessories — confirm at quote.
SmartReader calibration-plate family:
- MR9610-CAL (this product) — Calibration plate for MR9610 and MR9611 UV-Vis chassis
- MR9600-CAL — Calibration plate for MR9600 base SmartReader chassis
Confirm chassis match before ordering — the plates are not interchangeable across SmartReader chassis families.
