Molecular Devices SpectraMax M2e Multilabel Microplate Reader
The SpectraMax M2e is a dual-monochromator, multi-detection
microplate reader with a dual-mode cuvette port and 96 or 384 microplate reading
capability. Detection modalities include absorbance (UV-Vis Abs) and
fluorescence intensity (FI) and have optical performance comparable to a
top-of-the-line dedicated spectrofluorometer or spectrophotometer. Endpoint,
kinetic, spectrum and area-well scanning read types and PathCheck allow
homogeneous and heterogeneous microplate assays to be performed in this
flexible system. The FI and Abs microplate reader with built-in cuvette port
allows easy conversion and optimization of very-low-throughput assays into
medium-high-throughput microplate assays.
The SpectraMax M2e allows faster, more precise results and reagent savings. In addition, combined absorbance and fluorescence intensity assays can be run by issuing a single read command. The M2e features top- and bottom-read modes, resulting in greater sensitivity for solution and cell-based assays. Within endpoint and kinetic measurement protocols, up to four wavelength pairs can be read at a time, allowing for improved efficiency for FRET assays. Key Features: dual mode cuvette port, robotics compatible, multilabel, dual monochromators, and PathCheck.
Applications include: DNA, RNA, and protein quantitation and purity; PicoGreen, NanoOrange, and Bradford; ELISAs and enzyme kinetics; drug dissolution profiles; live or dead viability or cytotoxicity assays; Caspase-3 and protease assays; cAMP assays using CatchPoint Assay Kits; and low volume applications.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
