Overview of SpectraMax MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer
See more, and do more, with the SpectraMax® i3/i3x Multi-Mode Detection Platform, the field-upgradeable SpectraMax® MiniMax™ 300 Imaging Cytometer enables quick imaging and analysis of cells and gives you a front-row view of phenotypic changes that accompany cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, and protein expression. Now with StainFree™ Cell counting Technology, additional brightfield analysis features, and fluorescent green and red detection channels.
The SpectraMax MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer option is a field-upgradeable option for the SpectraMax i3/i3x Multi-Mode Detection Platform that offers cellular imaging capability.
- Simplified workflow: Add cellular imaging assays in a small footprint
- No Stain Analysis: Eliminate cell staining for cell counting and confluence measurements using StainFree™ Technology
- More data: Multi-parametric cell-based assays with brightfield and green and red fluorescent imaging
- Familiar software: Set up, image, and analyze cells in a snap using SoftMax® Pro Microplate Data Acquisition & Analysis Software
- Higher sensitivity: Easily measure low cell concentration samples
- Lower variance: Normalize your plate reader assay data to the number of cells in each well
Technologies of SpectraMax MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer
