Molecular Devices VersaMax Absorbance Microplate Reader, 340-850 nm, Molecular Devices (CAT#: STEM-SPO-0005-LGZ)

The VersaMax™ Microplate Reader from Molecular Devices bridges the gap between the affordability of filter-based readers and the flexibility offered by monochrome-based systems. This robust model allows precise wavelength detection in the visible spectrum without the need for filters. Therefore, the flexibility of the analysis is independent of the outcome.

Micro Edition Reading Essence

Based on a grating monochromator, the VersaMax™ Absorbance Microplate Reader allows the selection of up to two wavelengths at a time for absorbance detection in the visible wavelength range.
This model has a patented multi-channel optical design following a dual-beam spectrophotometer. Errors due to variations in light output are reduced with the use of VersaMax microplates. Users can take advantage of the high-speed and precise readout of this eight-channel system and its single-end point measurements in 96-well microplates. Users can also expect consistent performance when working with kinetic analysis data collected over time.

Powerful Data Analysis

The VersaMax system features leading application software for data analysis and instrument control. The software can handle a wide variety of analytical needs, performing simple endpoint analyzes to complex kinetic analyzes requiring custom calculations. Available for Windows and Macintosh users, the software meets the needs of all types of VersaMax users from novice to expert.

Use the VersaMax reader to:

Microbial Growth/MIC
IC50/LD50
Endpoint ELISAs/EIAs
Cytoproliferation/Cytotoxicity
Colorimetric Protein
Kinetic ELISAs/Enzyme Assays
Bacterial Identification
Users can seamlessly integrate VersaMax Microplate Reader with the StakMax® Microplate Handling System through the software.
