Molecular Devices ThermoMax is a high-efficiency, temperature-regulated, 96-well microplate reader. With a wide range of on-board features and capabilities, thermoax is ideally suited for use in modern laboratories involved in many applications.
ThermoMax performs automatic mixing before and between readings to ensure reliable and precise results. The Microsoft windows-based software ensures smooth operation as it includes single and dual wavelength readout, dynamic readout, auto (jitter), endpoint, blank mode, and curve fitting.
The thermoax microplate reader offers thermal control and vertical shaking for perfect kinetic readings involving growth curves in 5 seconds per plate. The system can take readouts in photometric mode, or kinetic analysis over user-configurable kinetic ranges and intervals, with on-board and temperature-regulated diagnostics.
