SpectraMax Mini Multi-Mode Microplate Reader
Manufacturer: Molecular Devices, LLC
SKU: SpectraMax Mini
Description
The SpectraMax Mini is a compact, multi-mode microplate reader offering a balance of functionality and value. It provides three core detection modes: UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence, with a spectral range from 200 to 1000 nm. The system is designed to be user-upgradable, allowing a transition from a dual-mode to a triple-mode instrument as experimental requirements evolve. It accommodates standard microplate formats from 6- to 384-wells. Key operational features include a xenon flash lamp for UV excitation and AutoPMT technology, which automatically optimizes photomultiplier tube gain to measure a wide concentration range on a single plate without manual adjustment. The reader is typically operated with SoftMax Pro software for instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis.
