GloMax® Discover System
Be one of the first to experience Promega's newest integrated detection system.
This ready-to-use multimode detection system includes: high-performance luminescence, fluorescence, UV-Visible absorbance, BRET and FRET, two-color filtered luminescence and kinetic measurement capabilities.
The instrument is operated by an integrated Tablet PC, which provides quick and easy navigation through the control options. Exporting your results is made seamless with a variety of options, including exporting to your local data network. The GloMax® Discover software will provide many of the required technical elements of a part 11 compliant system (user authentication and authorization, data integrity and protection, electronic signatures and audit trails) when used with the appropriate laboratory workflow.
PerformanceThe GloMax® Discover System delivers maximum flexibility with minimal user intervention. Easy-To-UseChoose from preloaded Promega protocols or customize your own. Build custom protocols using the intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Export data to a network, cloud or any drive desired. |
![]() Minimal Manual InterventionFilter paddles and automatic filter switching allow easy two-color multiplexing assays or kinetic studies. Quick read-speeds for high efficiencies in your laboratory. Compatible for 3rd party automation control. |
Superior SensitivityPlate mask (aperture control) for switching between 96-well and 384-well plates. Low cross-talk between wells gives you better, more usable results. Broad dynamic range of the instrument extends the linear range of your assay. ![]() |
