SpectraMax Gemini EM
(Manufacturer: Molecular Devices)
Key Features
- Reads a variety of sample formats from 6- to 384-well microplates in endpoint, kinetic, spectral scan, and well scan modes.
- Measures fluorescence from solutions or cell-based assays with the best optical sensitivity by switching between top and bottom fluorescence reading
- Compares relative fluorescence units (RFUs) between samples, 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
Applications
