Product Description Multi-detection microplate readers with dual-mode cuvette ports KEY FEATURES Multi-detection capability Top- and bottom-read (M2e only) Dual-mode cuvette port Dual monochromators PathCheck and well volume sensor Instrument and software validation Robot compatible The SpectraMax M2 and M2e Systems from Molecular Devices are multidetection microplate readers with dualmonochromators, dual-mode cuvette ports, and top- and bottom-reading capability (top-reading only on the M2). Detection modalities include absorbance (UV-Vis Abs) and fluorescence intensity (FI). Endpoint, kinetic, spectrum and area-well scanning read types and the PathCheck Sensor allow homogeneous and heterogeneous microplate assays to be performed in one flexible system. SpectraMax M2 readers provide for easy conversion and optimization of very-low-throughput to medium-high-throughput assays, faster, more precise results and reagent savings. In addition, combined absorbance and fluorescence intensity assays can be run by issuing a single read command. #gap-481065338 { padding-top: 19px, } Technical specifications Absorbance photometric performance Wavelength selection: Monochromator, tunable in 1 nm increments Wavelength range: 2001000 nm Wavelength bandwidth: &le, 4.0 nm Wavelength accuracy: ±,2.0 nm Wavelength repeatability: ±,0.2 nm Photometric range: 04.0 OD Photometric resolution: 0.001 OD Photometric accuracy (microplate): <, ±,0.006 OD ±,1.0%, 02 OD Photometric accuracy (cuvette): <, ±,0.005 OD ±,1.0%, 02 OD Photometric precision: <, ±,0.003 OD ±,1.0%, 02 OD Baseline flatness: <, 0.001 OD Stray light: <, 0.05% @ 230 nm Fluorescence photometric performance Dual monochromators: 1 nm increment selection EX Wavelength range: 250850 nm EM Wavelength range: M2: 360850 nm, M2e: 250850 nm Wavelength bandwidth (EX, EM): 9 nm Top-read optimized sensitivity: 5 pM (fluorescein) in 96 wells Top-read guaranteed* sensitivity: 15 pM (fluorescein) in 96 wells Bottom-read optimized sensitivity (M2e only): 10 pM (fluorescein) in 96 wells Bottom-read guaranteed* sensitivity (M2e only): 25 pM (fluorescein) in 96 wells Time-Resolved Fluorescence (secondary mode) EX Wavelength range: 250850 nm EM Wavelength range: M2: 360850 nm, M2e: 250850 nm Data collection: 501450 sec., 200 sec. increments Guaranteed sensitivity*: 7 pM Eu-chelate Luminescence (secondary mode) Wavelength range (M2): 360850 nm Wavelength range (M2e): 250850 nm Guaranteed sensitivity*: 50 fM alkaline phosphatase General photometric performance Plate formats: 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 384 wells Light source: Xenon flash lamp (1 joule/flash) Detector: Photomultiplier tube (PMT) Read time** 96 wells: Abs 18 sec., FI 15 sec. 384 wells: Abs 49 sec., FI 45 sec.
