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

  • Cell Count/Viability

    SpectraMax Cell Count & Viability

    • CHO cells were plated in 2X dilutions starting from 32000 cells/well in a 96-well plate
    • Cells were then stained with Calcein AM dye and counted

    Cell Proliferation/Cytotoxicity

    SpectraMax Cell Proliferation & Cytotoxicity

    • Hepatocytes were treated with known compounds causing liver toxicity
    • Proliferation/toxicity effects assessed by measuring total cell area

  • Marker Expression

    SpectraMax Marker Expression

    • HUVEC cells were pre-treated with anti-inflammatory compounds and then cultured in the presence of inflammatory cytokines
    • Stimulated protein expression was measured by total integrated intensity
