SpectraMax Gemini XPS Microplate Reader-1

SpectraMax Gemini XPS Microplate ReaderA dual-monochromator spectrofluorometer system BENEFITS • No filters needed • Higher sensitivity • Validation tools • Robotics compatible Introduction The SpectraMax® Gemini™ XPS Microplate Spectrofluorometer from Molecular Devices® provides a flexible environment to determine the optimal excitation and emission settings for most fluorescent intensity assays. The Gemini XPS Reader has dual monochromators that allow users to utilize new and novel dyes without purchasing expensive filter sets. SoftMax® Pro Microplate Data Acquisition and Analysis Software, included with every Gemini XPS Reader, provides convenient data analysis. The optional SpectraTest® FL1 Validation Plate automatically validates the performance of the reader. Software validation, IQ/OQ/PQ and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance tools are also available. Dual monochromators With the Gemini XPS Reader, users don’t have to worry about having the right set of filters. The system uses two scanning monochromators to determine the optimal excitation and emission settings. Assays vary depending on temperature or pH conditions; the monochromators allow users to select the optimal wavelength for any assay. Alternatively, literature values for the monochromator can be easily entered. When methods or fluorophores change, it takes only a few software commands to adjust the reader. Well scanning With well scanning, multiple points within each well can be read, providing a high level of sensitivity for cell-based assays. Endpoint, kinetic and spectrum scanning assays can also be run.
