Molecular Devices Spectramax Gemini XPS Fluorescence Microplate Reader

Molecular Devices Spectramax Gemini XPS Fluorescence Microplate Reader capable of measuring up to four wavelength pairs for endpoint and kinetic measurements and allows efficient and reliable microplate readings over a greater range of fluorescence intensities without the need for filters. 

Benefits

• Read a variety of sample formats from 6- to 384-well microplates in endpoint, kinetic, spectral scan, and well scan modes
• Eliminate the need for identifying, purchasing, and changing out filters for wavelength optimization with dual monochromators for excitation and emission wavelength selection between 250 and 850 nm
• Up to 4 wavelength pairs can be read for endpoint and kinetic measurements
• Well scanning to report a fluorescent measurement from a single point in the center of a microplate well to multiple points across a tissue culture well

Measuring Accurately and Reproducibly

• Avoid losing high signals to detector saturation and photobleaching after repeated reads to find the correct reader settings with AutoPMT System electronics
• Compare relative fluorescence units (RFUs) between samples, like with no other fluorometer, allowed by a unique calibration against an internal standard
• Monitoring of temperature-sensitive reactions with consistent temperature regulation from ambient to 45°C
• Thorough mixing of samples in microplate wells by user-programmable Automix feature
• Gentle movement of cell or other aggregates in the microplate with a slow carriage speed option
• Seamless automation coupling with the StakMax Stacker, Molecular Devices’ own integrated microplate stacker designed exclusively for the SpectraMax Reader
