Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader with Tunable Monochromators
Product Description
The Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader is a versatile laboratory instrument designed for quantitative measurement of biological assays critical in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology research. Equipped with monochromator-based optics, it supports multiple detection modes including absorbance (ABS), fluorescence intensity (FI), luminescence (Lum), fluorescence polarization (FP), and time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), accommodating plate formats from 6- to 384-wells.
Key technical specifications include:
- Wavelength range: 200–1000 nm (ABS), 250–850 nm (FI, Lum, TRF), and 400–750 nm (FP), tunable in 1 nm increments via monochromators.
- Light sources: Xenon Flash Lamp providing consistent excitation for fluorescence and luminescence assays.
- Detectors: Silicon photodiode and dual photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) for sensitive detection across assay types.
- Read modes: Endpoint, kinetic, spectral scanning, and well-area scanning enhancing data resolution for enzyme kinetics and cell viability studies.
- Temperature control: Precise plate incubation from 2°C above ambient to 60°C, enabling enzyme reactions and live-cell experiments.
- Shaking capability: Linear shaking via Automix feature for assay consistency.
- Automation compatibility: Fully robotic-compatible facilitating high-throughput workflows in biomanufacturing and molecular cloning pipelines.
This microplate reader features top and bottom fluorescence reading, wavelength flexibility, and pathlength correction for improved absorbance accuracy across diverse microplate formats. Its rapid read times, such as 18 seconds for 96-well absorbance and 17 seconds for fluorescence intensity, optimize efficiency in large-scale screening applications.
The SpectraMax M5e is widely adopted in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics laboratories for:
- ELISA assays
- DNA/RNA quantification essential for gene editing and synthetic biology research
- Protein concentration and enzyme kinetics studies
- Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays
Software integration requires a SoftMax Pro subscription for advanced data analysis, widely used in molecular biology research environments. Comprehensive warranty and remote setup/training services ensure reliable deployment.
This instrument’s combination of multi-mode detection, wavelength tunability, and temperature control makes it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular diagnostic workflows where precision and flexibility are paramount.
