The MR9620-FM is a customized fluorescent filter module for the Accuris MR9620 SmartReader Multimode Plate Reader — a workflow-specific filter accessory that extends the chassis's fluorescence-mode capability to non-standard fluorescent dyes not covered by the chassis's standard filter set. The "Customized" designation in the universe label indicates this SKU is configurable per workflow — the filter module ships with workflow-specific excitation and emission filter pairs sized to the lab's specific fluorescent dye targets.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): Brochure context for MR9620-FM specifically is sparse in the available Accuris catalog corpus. The product description below is inferred from standard customized fluorescent filter module conventions. Confirm at first order: specific filter wavelengths, fluorescent dye targets, customization workflow (does the buyer specify wavelengths at order or is the module a fixed configuration?), and any per-customization lead-time premium.

What This Module Does
The MR9620 SmartReader Multimode chassis ships with a standard fluorescence filter set covering common fluorescent dyes (typical Accuris standard set: FITC, TRITC, Cy5, and similar standard fluorophores). For workflows using non-standard fluorescent dyes — specialty fluorophores, spectrally-shifted variants, custom-conjugate dyes, or proprietary research-tool dyes — the standard filter set may not provide the optimal excitation and emission wavelength pairs.
The MR9620-FM customized filter module ships with workflow-specific filter pairs that match the lab's specific dye targets — improving fluorescence signal-to-noise vs running the assay through a sub-optimal standard filter pair. Common scenarios where customization matters:
- Specialty fluorescent dyes beyond the standard FITC / TRITC / Cy5 set (e.g., spectrally-shifted Alexa Fluor variants, brilliant-violet dyes, near-infrared dyes)
- FRET assay workflows requiring matched donor-acceptor filter pairs for time-resolved or steady-state FRET signal capture
- Multiplex assays combining multiple fluorophores where channel separation requires custom filter wavelength pairs
- Proprietary or research-tool dyes developed for specific assay platforms
Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
Module pairing — MR9620 chassis only. Order this SKU when:
- Workflow uses non-standard fluorescent dyes not covered by the MR9620's standard filter set
- Specialty FRET or multiplex assays requiring custom filter wavelength pairs
- Drug-discovery or proprietary assay workflows using research-tool dyes or licensed assay-platform dyes
- Replacement / supplement to existing custom filter modules in heavy-rotation labs
For workflows using the chassis's standard fluorophore set, the standard filter module shipped with the MR9620 chassis is sufficient — the MR9620-FM customization premium is justified only when the workflow specifically requires non-standard wavelength pairs.
Ordering & Configuration
Customization workflow. Confirm at order: filter wavelength specifications (excitation and emission center wavelengths and bandwidths), fluorescent dye targets, FRET donor-acceptor pair specifications if applicable, and customization lead time (custom filter modules typically have longer lead times than standard catalog accessories).
Filter wavelength specification. Provide the lab's specific dye targets at order; Accuris configures the filter module to match. If the workflow uses commercially-available dyes, the dye manufacturer's specification sheet (excitation max, emission max, bandwidth) provides the necessary inputs for filter spec.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (MR9620 in inventory), specific filter wavelength specifications, fluorescent dye target documentation, customization lead time premium, training requirements, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard warranty terms for accessories — confirm at quote.
