The SpectraMax® Mini Multi-Mode Microplate Reader was built to save researchers benchtop space and budget. The Mini reader features up to three modes of detection for UV-Visible absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence, allowing for key applications like reporter gene expression, ELISA, DNA and protein quantitation, cell viability, and more. The reader accommodates various plate types from 6- to 384-well formats and is user upgradeable from two to three modes of detection. The reader is also designed with a Xenon flash lamp to allow measurement of fluorescence from 250 to 850 nm.
