Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader for Absorbance, Fluorescence, and Luminescence Assays
Product Description
The Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5e is a versatile multi-mode microplate reader engineered for a broad range of quantitative assays in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biochemical research. This model supports UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence intensity, luminescence, fluorescence polarization (FP), and time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) detection modes, making it well-suited for applications including ELISA, DNA/RNA quantification, protein assays, enzyme kinetics, and cell viability assays.
- Detection capabilities:
- Absorbance (ABS) with silicon photodiode detector
- Fluorescence intensity (FI), polarization (FP), and time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) via dual photomultiplier tubes (PMTs)
- Luminescence (Lum) detection using a xenon flash lamp light source
- Wavelength range: Monochromator-based tunability from 200 to 1000 nm with 1 nm increments, enabling precise spectral scanning and endpoint measurements
- Plate formats: Compatible with 6- to 384-well plates including standard 96-well microplates, supporting diverse assay throughput demands
- Performance features:
- Rapid plate reading times (e.g., absorbance read of 96 wells in 18 seconds) with linear shaking via Automix
- Temperature control spanning ambient +2°C to 60°C, critical for enzyme kinetics and cell-based assays
- Automation-friendly design with robotic compatibility to support high-throughput bioprocessing workflows
- Pathlength correction ensures accurate absorbance quantification across varying well volumes
- Applications: This instrument is widely adopted in molecular biology, synthetic biology, biomanufacturing, and clinical diagnostics for quantitative assays vital to gene editing, bioprocess monitoring, and molecular cloning workflows
- Software: Bundled with trial access to SoftMax Pro software (subscription required), providing advanced data acquisition and bioanalytical data processing tailored for fluorescence and absorbance assays
- Dimensions & power: Weighs 16.4 kg (36 lbs), measuring 22.8" W × 8.6" H × 15.3" D; operates with 100–240 VAC, 3.5 A, 50/60 Hz power supply
This SpectraMax M5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader offers robust, reliable performance essential for precise fluorescence analysis, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and luminescence detection, making it a critical instrument for laboratories engaged in advanced biotechnology research and molecular diagnostics applications.
