MicroMax 384 Microwell-Plate Reader
Features - Second generation device: more sensitivity ...
- For plates with up to 384 wells
- Compatible with FluoroMax® and FluoroLog® spectrofluorometers
- Fully automatic
- Controlled by FluorEssence™ software
The MicroMax 384 is a microwell-plate reader able to accept plates with up to 384 wells, and connect to FluoroMax® or FluoroLog® spectrofluorometers.
MicroMax 384's high speed allows it to scan completely a 96-microwell plate in less than one minute. By moving the microwell plate through stationary optics, the MicroMax 384 insures high sensitivity, excellent accuracy, and high reproducibility.
Light from the excitation and emission monochromators is carried via a fiber-optic bundle to and from the MicroMax 384, thus the user may scan with the main spectrofluorometer and select any excitation and emission wavelength pair for intensity measurements.
All control of the MicroMax 384 is automated through FluorEssence™ software; custom selection of microwells on the plate is possible through the software.
