SpectraMax Plus 190 Microplate Reader

The SpectraMax 190 Microplate Reader features a multichannel design for 96-well microplates and uses separate sample and reference beams for each sample – just like a dual beam spectrophotometer- to eliminate error due to variations in optical fiber light output. The patented multichannel optical design measures each sample in the plate directly,reads up to 6 wavelengths in endpoint or kinetic mode for 96-well plates and performs spectra scans to determine wavelength peaks. Comprehensive validation package for the system include : SpectraTest^® ABS1, FL1 and LM1 Validation Plates for hardware validation of absorbance, SoftMax Pro Software validation package, Software tools for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Benefits

Eliminate the need for purchasing and changing out filters for wavelength optimization with a monochromator-based wavelength selection for UV-visible absorbance between 190 nm and 850 nm

Measurement accuracy is increased due to narrow bandwidths that deliver increased and linearity over the widest range of assays, including DNA quantitation in the UV range

Better experimental signal discrimination using narrow absorbance bandpass for superior peak resolution and increased accuracy

Quickly quantify DNA, RNA, and protein samples as low as 2 µL with the SpectraDrop Micro-Volume Microplate

Features

• Ability to monitor temperature-sensitive reactions with consistent temperature regulation from ambient to 45°C
• Correction for varying microplate well volumes and the elimination of standard curves based on PathCheck^® Technology, the only temperature-independent pathlength correction method
• Thorough mixing of samples in microplate wells by user-programmable Automix feature
• Seamless automation coupling with the StakMax Stacker, Molecular Devices' own integrated microplate stacker designed exclusively for the SpectraMax Reader
