The MR9620-PC is the Research Version PC software for the Accuris MR9620 SmartReader Multimode Plate Reader — extends the chassis touch-screen interface with PC-based data analysis, multi-mode workflow management (absorbance + fluorescence + luminescence), kinetic programming, AIM injection-module integration, and data export. Sister to the higher-tier MR9620-CFR ($2,195) which adds FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit-trail / electronic-signature / user-authentication features for regulated workflows.
Key Specifications
| SKU | MR9620-PC |
| Type | PC software — Multimode Research Version |
| Compatible chassis | MR9620 SmartReader Multimode Plate Reader (115 V) |
| Function | Multi-mode data analysis (absorbance / fluorescence / luminescence), multi-plate workflow, kinetic programming, AIM injection-module control, data export |
| Sister software | MR9620-CFR (FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Security Version, $2,195) |
| Use case | Non-regulated workflows — academic R&D, exploratory drug-discovery, industrial R&D not under FDA submission |
| List price | $461 |
Research Version vs CFR Version
The MR9620 chassis ships with two software variant options:
| Software SKU | Version | Use case | Price |
| MR9620-PC (this product) | Research Version | Non-regulated workflows — academic, R&D, exploratory | $461 |
| MR9620-CFR | FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Security Version | Regulated workflows — clinical labs, pharma GMP, validated assays | $2,195 |
The CFR Version adds substantial cost (~$1,734 premium) for the audit-trail, electronic-signature, user-authentication, and data-integrity features required for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Pick the Research Version when the workflow doesn't fall under FDA-regulated scope; pick the CFR Version when regulatory compliance matters.
For the full discussion of when each version is appropriate, see the MR9620-CFR page.
What This Software Does
Beyond the standard PC software functions, the MR9620-PC supports Multimode chassis-specific capabilities:
- Multi-mode protocol design — single-protocol workflows that combine absorbance / fluorescence / luminescence reads on the same plate
- AIM injection-module control — protocol design for the MR9620-AIM1 (single injector) and MR9620-AIM2 (dual injector) accessories
- Custom filter module integration — workflow integration with custom fluorescent filter modules (MR9620-FM)
- Kinetic-mode programming — multi-cycle kinetic reads with custom timing for kinetic enzyme assays, BRET workflows, calcium flux
Compatibility & When to Order This SKU
Software pairing — MR9620 chassis only. Order this SKU when:
- Commissioning a new MR9620 for non-regulated workflow — pair the chassis purchase with the Research Version PC software
- Academic research, R&D, exploratory drug-discovery — workflows that don't require FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance
- Multi-instrument MR9620 fleet for non-regulated work — institutional labs running MR9620 chassis in academic / exploratory contexts
For regulated workflows, order the MR9620-CFR instead. For other SmartReader chassis families, see MR9600-PC or MR9610-PC.
