SoftMax Pro Software
The most published microplate reader control and data analysis software
Preconfigured protocols and custom assay workflows simplify microplate data acquisition and analysis
SoftMax® Pro Software is designed to provide the simplicity, flexibility and power required for advanced data analysis. It provides ready-to-run protocols, analysis algorithms, and 21 different curve fit options. Every step is optimized for data acquired from a Molecular Devices microplate reader or data imported from another source to simplify analysis and reporting. Compliance tools are available for regulated laboratories providing end-to-end chain of custody.
-
Simplify data measurement
The software offers a variety of options to initiate the measurement of a microplate assay through prewritten protocols with included acquisition settings or by setting custom experiment parameters.
-
Import and analyze complex data
Import raw data in microplate format acquired from any scientific instrument, consolidate data reduction from diverse data sources, and reduce errors with consistent data evaluation methods.
-
Publish like a pro
The software includes tools to publish reports with flexible data output formats. Data can be viewed in a lab notebook layout, saved as a PDF file, exported to an Excel file or to XML for LIMS integration.
