SpectraMax M5 microplate reader
11 November, 2005 | Millennium Science Pty Ltd
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.
