Manufacturer: Molecular Devices
Model: SpectraMax® Plus Microplate Reader & Standard Scanning Spectrophotometer incl. SoftMax® Pro 5 Software
S/N: 02514
Description:
Get absorbance measurements from 190 to 1000 nm quickly for samples in test tubes, cuvettes, and 96- or 384-well microplates.
The SpectraMax® Plus Microplate Reader gives you walk-up convenience for both standard spectrophotometer and microplate reader applications
on the same instrument. Monochromator wavelength selection saves you the time and trouble of ever having to change out filters. Typical applications
for this powerful reader include DNA and RNA quantification, enzyme kinetic assays, and ELISA based assays. When your project is ready for high
throughput, take advantage of StakMax® automated microplate handling compatibility for full robotic integration.
Suitable for following applications:
- Cell viability, proliferation, and cytotoxicity
- ELISAs and immunoassays
- Endotoxin detection
- Enzyme assays
- Micro volume applications
- Microbial growth
- Nucleic acid (DNA) quantitation
- Phosphotases/kinases
- Protein quantitation
- Reporter gene assays
SoftMax® Pro 5 Software from Molecular Devices offers extensive data capture, analysis, and reduction capabilities for its absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence, and multi-detection microplate readers for customers working in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academia, hospital, or government laboratories.
SoftMax® Pro 5 Software provides extensive data acquisition and analysis features for Gemini, LMax, SpectraMax®, VersaMax™, VMax®, EMax®, UVMax, FlexStation®, and ThermoMax benchtop Microplate Readers.
Key Facts:
- No filter system: Includes monochromator allowing up to 6 wavelengths at a time in the visible wavelength
range and scanning ranges from 190-1000 nm in 1 nm increments
- Easy assay optimization: Read a variety of sample formats from cuvettes to 96- and 384-well microplates in
endpoint, kinetic, and spectral scan modes
