SpectraMax L Microplate Reader
Benefits
- Measure to assay lower limits with high sensitivity luminescence detection down to 0.2 fg firefly luciferase (glow) or 20 amol ATP (flash)
- Read both 96- and 384-well plates with the lowest crosstalk for better signal discrimination with manual or automatic optical aperture switching
- Capture the full range of an assay by extending the measurable dynamic range to 9 orders of magnitude with simultaneous photon counting and analog detection
Upgradeable Options
- Higher sample throughput enabled by multiple detector configurations
- Perform dual luciferase reporter gene assays with dual injector system, capable of reading even very fast flash assays like acridinium esters
- Measure BRET assays with user-installed filters for separating wavelength peaks
- Seamless automation coupling with the StakMax Microplate Handling Stacker
- Upgrade your instrument to meet changing laboratory needs on your schedule by adding detectors or injectors after purchase
A Complete System
- Monitor and control temperature-sensitive reactions with consistent temperature regulation from ambient to 45°C
- Thoroughly mix samples in microplate wells by user-programmable Automix feature with 4 proprietary mixing modes
- Save on injector maintenance with advanced peristaltic injectors that require less maintenance than traditional syringe injection systems and include an auto-rinse at shutdown
