* Actual read time depends upon plate format and protocol configurations. Fly mode read times represent the fastest
The Multi-mode Analysis Software is an intuitive and flexible software platform that enables simple instrument control and protocol development for the FilterMax F3 and FilterMax F5 Multimode microplate readers. With an Outlook-style and wizard-based interface, users can easily create, copy, edit and delete labware selections, detection methods and protocols. The ability to define detection methods independent of protocols makes transferring methods to different plate formats fast and easy. For convenience, results data can be automatically exported to Excel, or saved as a tab- delimited XML file.
Basic software functions include:
- Filter slide configuration
- Labware configuration
- Labware optimization wizard for unique plate types
- Detection method definition
- Protocol definition
- Read height optimization wizard (FilterMax F5 only)
- Selectable data output and print options
Multi-mode Analysis Software GxP is available for use with the FilterMax F3 / F5 Series requiring 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
Multimode Analysis Software with Accounts & Permissions CD contains all of the power of the Multimode Analysis Software, plus the necessary features and controls to enable compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
In addition to all of the features of the standard version, the Multimode Analysis Software GxP includes:
- Wizard-based interface to enable easy step-by-step assay protocol design
- Select and configure only those analysis parameters you need
- Color-coded plate layout definitions with standards, blanks, controls and samples
- Create variables and data transformation formulas
- Generate standard curves with several curve fitting formulas
- Choose from more than 10 data reduction formulas
- Program cut-off groups for qualitative analysis
- Configure assay validation formulas
- Quickly recalculate results using different parameters without re-running the plate
- Customizable data report printouts
- Save data as .xml or tab-delimited .dat files
- View and print 2D and 3D results graphics
- Automatically save results to database for evaluation later
Multimode Analysis Software GxP adds the following tools to enable compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, including:
- Administrator system management options such as password aging, password validation, logon failure, and automatic idle log out
- Definition of user accounts, roles and permissions
- Electronic signature support
- Unalterable audit trail for system and software actions
Note: Minimum operating system requirements are: Pentium II 300Mhz CPU; min. 128 MB RAM; 150 MB available on hard-disk; 1 free serial port; and Windows version NT4/2000/XP.
From basic research to drug discovery, the FilterMax series cover a range of applications at an affordable price without sacrificing performance of your multi-mode microplate reader
