Promega has announced the launch of the Glomax-Multi detection system, which provides cross-functionality with the ability to work in fluorescence, luminescence and UV-visible absorbance read modes.
Using the Glomax-Multi+ detection system, scientists can multiplex their experiments and read luminescent and fluorescent cell-based assay data from the same microplate well; making it easier it generate high-quality, biologically relevant data.
The Glomax-Multi provides scientists with many benefits.
It has the ability to multiplex, meaning that scientists can measure luminescent and fluorescent chemistries from a single sample well to determine markers of cell viability, cytotoxicity and apoptosis, and reporter gene analysis.
The Glomax-Multi can work with multiple technologies and read fluorescence intensity, luminescence and UV-visible absorbance.
The modular detection design allows a scientist to expand into these new applications as required.
Dedicated optical channels ensure read sensitivity and dynamic range are both equivalent to the highest-performing single-mode instruments.
There is also an option to work in varied well configurations from 6-384.
Plate-reading capabilities function at a variety of throughput levels including six-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96- and 384-well plates.
The integrated drag-and-drop Protocol Composer with LCD colour touch-screen display enables easy protocol development, Promega said.
The instrument also comes with pre-installed Promega protocols; the addition of an optional injection system enables use with the Dual-Luciferase Reporter (DLR) assay system.
The Glomax-Multi also includes a built-in shaker that enables both linear and orbital mixing.
Scientists have the option to include a heater for precise temperature control from 2C above ambient temperature to 45C.
