SpectraMax M5 microplate reader

The Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5 is a five mode microplate reader with three mode cuvette port. It is a dual-monochromator, multi-detection microplate reader which features a triple-mode cuvette port and single-read command capability for experiments requiring multiple detection parameters. Using two scanning monochromators, the system also provides users with the flexibility to choose any wavelength between 200 and 1000 nm. The instrument uses standard microplates (6 to 384 well) to read endpoint, kinetic, spectrum, multi-wavelength and well area scanning.

The SpectraMax M5 has primary applications for fluorescence intensity, absorbance, luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) and fluorescence polarisation (FP) assays.

For life sciences research, the system is suitable for ELISA, nucleic acid, protein quantitation, enzymatic, cell viability and proliferation assays. Kinase, reporter gene, FRET and other homogeneous and heterogeneous assays can also be run.

The SpectraMax M5 allows life science and drug discovery researchers to increase productivity by providing multiple detection modes in one powerful, compact instrument.
