Molecular Devices Gemini XPS Fluorescent Microplate Reader
Wavelength Range Fluor.
250-850nm
Wavelength Range Lumin.
360-850nm
Light Source Xenon flash lamp
- Supports endpoint, kinetic, spectral scan, and well scan modes.
- Eliminates the need for filters, offering wavelength selection between 360 and 850 nm for both excitation and emission.
- Incorporates features to minimize interference from reflected excitation light, including bandpass cutoff filters.
- Automatically determines the pathlength of aqueous samples and normalizes absorbance to a pathlength of 1 cm in each well with use of softmax pro software.
- Automix function determines the frequency and necessity of automated shaking of the microplate during readings.
The Molecular Devices Gemini XPS Fluorescent Microplate Reader provides an ideal environment to determine the optimal excitation and emission settings for most fluorescent assays. The Gemini XPS can read a variety of sample formats from 6- to 384-well microplates in endpoint, kinetic, spectral scan, and well scan modes. It also eliminates the need for filters for wavelength with its dual monochromators design with excitation and emission wavelength selection between 360 and 850 nm.
The Gemini XPS supports many applications including: Live/Dead viability/cytotoxicity assays, detection of nucleic acids, green fluorescent protein, nanoOrange protein quantitation, picoGreen DNA detection, molecular beacons, caspase-3, fluorometric protease assays, and cAMP detection.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
