Multi-Mode Microplate Readers

Microplate readers are used in basic and applied research across many disciplines-from process quality control to early drug discovery research for diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic illnesses, and central nervous system disorders. Depending on the identified sample targets and complexity of interactions, researchers could require two or more detection modes to perform their investigational studies. Multi-mode readers are ideal for these conditions because multiple modes are designed into a single instrument, thereby requiring less bench space and reducing the time involved to run experiments.

Molecular Devices offers a versatile range of multi-mode readers under its FilterMax™, SpectraMax®, and FlexStation® brands. Each system meets a different combination of needs from basic research to numerous stages of the drug discovery process.

With an exceptionally wide range of configuration options, researchers can purchase only the modes they need for their specific applications, and since most of our multi-mode readers can be upgraded with additional modes as the needs of the user change, the system you purchase now will not become outdated.

Our multi-mode readers are supplied with SoftMax® Pro Microplate Data Acquistion & Analysis Software, Molecular Devices' industry leading all-in-one data acquisition and analysis software. Among the various ready-to-read protocols, users will find pre-written µMax protocols enabling Low Volume applications measurement. Additionally, the our multi-mode readers can be seamlessly integrated with the StakMax® Microplate Handling Stacker through the SoftMax Pro Software.

In general, SpectraMax line of microplate readers are compatible with the vast majority of biological and biochemical microplate-based assays. This includes, but is not limited to ELISA, nucleic acid quantitation, protein quantitation, enzymatic activity, kinase activity, cell signaling, and ADME-Tox.
