Molecular Devices SpectraMax M2e
Manufacturer: Molecular Devices Model: SpectraMax M2e
The SpectraMax M5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader delivers single-mode reader performance in one multi-mode reader package. The dual monochromator optics allow the widest range of applications to be utilized for bioresearch and drug discovery applications, all without the need to change filters. The SpectraMax M5e Micoplate Reader possesses the five modes preferred by the majority of our users providing the benefit of multiple detection modes in one platform: UV-Visible Absorbance (Abs), Fluorescence Intensity (FI), Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF) including CisBio HTRF Certification, Fluorescence Polarization (FP) and Glow Luminescence (Lumi).
