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 has been optimized for data acquired from a Molecular Devices microplate reader or data imported from another source to simplify analysis and reporting. FDA 21 CFR Part 11 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.
-
Become compliant easily
SoftMax Pro GxP Compliance Software extends into regulated laboratories working under GMP, GLP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and other similar guidelines for secure electronic records.

Features
-
Built-in protocols
Use over 160 protocols with preconfigured assay parameters for a wide variety of common assays including protocols for our entire suite of reagents, SpectraTest® Validation Plates, and adapter plates.
-
Advanced reader control
Build custom assay workflow, run multitask kinetics, and pause and resume kinetic reads with the discontinuous kinetics feature.
-
Flexible calculations
Data analysis features are available such as 21 different curve fit options, simplified cross-plate analysis and interpolation, and automatic calculations of relative potency, EC50, and Z factors.
-
Project management made easy
Group multiple plate reads in one protocol. Display results, conditional pass/fail statements, mini graphs, and images in the notes section for easy viewing of overall project results.
-
Secure electronic recordkeeping
Controlled user access is provided through a granular permission structure and unique logins with electronic signature support for verification, authorization, and approval, including audit trails.
-
Validation tools reduce cost
Extensive suite of microplate reader validation tools can reduce the cost and time of validation by 50% when compared to using multiple platforms to collect and analyze data.
