Molecular Devices SpectraMax M3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader


The Molecular Devices SpectraMax M3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader is a dual-monochromator, multi-detection microplate reader with full spectral range detection for cuvettes and 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-well microplates. Detection modalities include absorbance (UV-Vis Abs), fluorescence intensity (FI), luminescence (Lumi), and all have optical performance comparable to a top-of-the-line dedicated spectrofluorometer or spectrophotometer. Endpoint, kinetic, spectrum and area-well scanning read types and PathCheck allow homogeneous and heterogeneous microplate assays to be performed in this flexible system. This FI, Abs, and Lumi microplate reader with a built-in cuvette port allows for easy conversion and optimization of very-low-throughput assays into medium-high-throughput microplate assays.

The SpectraMax M3 allows faster, more precise results and reagent savings. In addition, combined absorbance and fluorescence intensity assays can be run by issuing a single read command. The SpectraMax M3 features top-read and bottom-read modes, resulting in greater sensitivity for solution and cell-based assays. Within endpoint and kinetic measurement protocols, up to four wavelength pairs can be read at a time, allowing for improved efficiency for FRET assays. For Luminescence, the SpectraMax M3 utilizes a dedicated luminescence photomultiplier tube (PMT), providing the maximum signal and lowest background noise as possible for glow luminescence report gene assays. Key Features: dual mode cuvette port, robotics compatible, multilabel, dual monochromators, and PathCheck.

Applications include: DNA, RNA, and protein quantitation and purity; PicoGreen, NanoOrange, and Bradford; ELISAs and enzyme kinetics; drug dissolution profiles; live or dead viability or cytotoxicity assays; Caspase-3 and protease assays; cAMP assays using CatchPoint Assay Kits; and low volume applications.


All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
