MDS Analytical Technologies has launched the Molecular Devices Spectramax M3 and M4 Multi-Mode Microplate Readers.
MDS designed the M3 and M4 readers as modular systems to ensure that users have access to easy upgrade paths.
The M3 Reader provides three detection modes: UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence intensity and luminescence, but can be upgraded to include time-resolved fluorescence and/or fluorescence polarisation modes.
The M4 Reader offers the same modes as the M3 Reader, plus time-resolved fluorescence, and can be upgraded to include fluorescence polarisation.
The readers are built on a dual-monochromator platform to deliver the convenience of a monochromator-based instrument with sensitivity similar to filter-based platforms.
Spectramax Readers enable well-volume detection via the Pathcheck Sensor and superior optical capabilities via a Smart Optics Design.
All M Series readers accommodate a cuvette, as well as six-well to 384-well standard microplates.
All leverage Softmax Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software, which offers users more than 150 pre-programmed application protocols.
Softmax Pro GxP Software helps users adhere to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 21CFR Part 11 compliance requirements.
