Molecular Devices FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader Unit 4
Product Description
The Molecular Devices FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader Unit 4 is a benchtop analytical instrument designed for high-throughput biomedical research and biotechnological applications including molecular diagnostics, drug discovery, and enzyme kinetics. This unit supports multiple detection modes including:
- Absorbance (ABS): 200–1000 nm, 18 seconds per 96-well plate read
- Luminescence (LM): Top/bottom read, 250–850 nm excitation/emission, 2 minutes per 96-well plate
- Fluorescence (FL): Top/bottom read, 250–850 nm excitation/emission, 17 seconds per 96-well plate
- Fluorescence Polarization (FP): Top read, 400–750 nm range, 42 seconds per 96-well plate
- Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF): Top/bottom read, 250–850 nm range, 17 seconds per 96-well plate
Key features include:
- Support for microplate formats: 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384 wells
- Integrated fluidics system with an 8-channel pipetting head capable of delivering up to 200 µL with 2% CV at 50 µL for real-time kinetic and reagent addition assays
- Temperature-controlled incubation ranging from ambient +2°C up to 45°C for assay flexibility
- Shaking and trituration with adjustable duration (0–999 seconds) to enhance assay mixing and homogeneity
- Endpoint, kinetic, and spectral scanning modes to accommodate diverse experimental protocols
The instrument is widely adopted in neuroscience, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics fields for ion channel assays, GPCR signaling, cytotoxicity measurements, and protein interaction studies. Its multi-mode detection capabilities combined with precise temperature control make it critical for molecular cloning workflows, synthetic biology research, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The compact benchtop design facilitates efficient laboratory integration and workflow optimization.
Unit 4 is supplied with the accompanying computer loaded with SoftMax Pro software v7.0, essential for data acquisition and analysis, plus required communication and power cables. The instrument has been fully tested for power-up, software communication, all detection modes, plate shaking, pipettor operation, and temperature incubation control by certified service technicians to ensure reliable performance.
This pre-owned unit comes with a 120-day warranty in the continental US and 60 days internationally, with optional extended warranty and remote installation/training services available. The FlexStation 3 offers an essential platform for high-throughput screening, molecular biology assays, fluorescence analysis, and bioprocessing applications in academic and industrial biotechnology laboratories.
