Molecular Devices SpectraMax M2e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader ABS FL TRF LUM SKU: 7678 Manufacturer: Molecular Devices Model: SpectraMax M2e Description: The SpectraMax® M2 and M2e systems from Molecular Devices are multidetection microplate readers with dual monochromators, dual-mode cuvette ports and top and bottom reading capability (top reading only on the M2). Detection modalities include absorbance (UV-Vis Abs) and fluorescence intensity (FI). Endpoint, kinetic, spectrum and area-well scanning reading modes and the PathCheck® sensor enable homogeneous and heterogeneous microplate assays to be performed in a flexible system. SpectraMax M2 readers enable easy conversion and optimisation from very low throughput assays to medium to high throughput assays, faster, more accurate results and reagent savings. In addition, combined absorbance and fluorescence intensity assays can be performed with a single read command.
