Gemini EM Microplate Reader

Benefits

• Read a variety of sample formats from 6- to 384-well microplates in endpoint, kinetic, spectral scan, and well scan modes
• Eliminate the need for identifying, purchasing, and changing out filters for wavelength optimization with dual monochromators for excitation and emission wavelength selection between 250 and 850 nm
• Measure fluorescence from solutions or cell-based assays with the best optical sensitivity by switching between top and bottom fluorescence reading
• Up to 4 wavelength pairs can be read for endpoint and kinetic measurements
• Well scanning to report a fluorescent measurement from a single point in the center of a microplate well to multiple points across a tissue culture well

Measuring Accurately and Reproducibly

• Avoid losing high signals to detector saturation and photobleaching after repeated reads to find the correct reader settings with AutoPMT System electronics
• Compare relative fluorescence units (RFUs) between samples, like with no other fluorometer, allowed by a unique calibration against an internal standard
• Monitoring of temperature-sensitive reactions with consistent temperature regulation from ambient to 45°C
• Thorough mixing of samples in microplate wells by user-programmable Automix feature
• Gentle movement of cell or other aggregates in the microplate with a slow carriage speed option
• Seamless automation coupling with the StakMax Stacker, Molecular Devices own integrated microplate stacker designed exclusively for the SpectraMax Reader
