Detection modalities include absorbance (UV-Vis Abs) and fluorescence intensity (FI) and have optical performance comparable to a top-of-the-line dedicated spectrofluorometer or spectrophotometer. Endpoint, kinetic, spectrum and area-well scanning read types and PathCheck® allow homogeneous and heterogeneous microplate assays to be performed in this flexible system. The FI and Abs microplate reader with built-in cuvette port allows easy conversion and optimization of very-low-throughput assays into medium-high-throughput microplate assays. The SpectraMax M2 allows faster, more precise results and reagent savings. In addition, combined absorbance and fluorescence intensity assays can be run by issuing a single read command MFG.
