Complete Product Description
The VersaMax™ Microplate Reader from Molecular Devices bridges the gap between the affordability of filter-based readers and the flexibility of monochromator-based systems.
The VersaMax ELISA Microplate Reader enables precise and accurate detection at wavelengths in the visible spectrum without the use of filters, providing consequence-free assay flexibility.
Built around a grating monochromator, the VersaMax™ Absorbance Microplate Reader allows for selection of up to two wavelengths at a time for absorbance detection in the visible wavelength range (340 nm - 850 nm). Narrow bandwidths deliver increased accuracy and enhanced peak resolution. Never order or replace filters to optimize an assay again!
A patented multichannel optical design mimics a dual-beam spectrophotometer, measures each sample in the plate directly, and eliminates error due to variations in light output between optical fibers on other instruments for more reliable reporting. The eight-channel system delivers high precision and speed when reading 96-well microplates for single endpoint measurements and kinetic assay data gathered over time.
The VersaMax Microplate Reader is supplied with SoftMax® Pro Data Acquistion & Analysis Software, Molecular Devices' industry leading all-in-one data acquisition and analysis software. Additionally, the VersaMax Microplate Reader can be seamlessly integrated with the StakMax® Microlate Handling System through the SoftMax Pro Software.
Powerful Data Analysis
SoftMax® Pro, Software Molecular Devices' industry-leading data analysis and instrument control software, is included with VersaMax Systems and provides additional flexibility for the user. SoftMax Pro Software can handle analysis requirements from simple endpoint assays to complex kinetic assays requiring custom calculations. The software is both Windows- and Macintosh-compatible and meets the needs of both basic and power users. Choose from nine different curve-fitting routines and use default data reduction, or set up custom formulas for analysis. Data can be analyzed and combined from different plates.
Validation Made Easy
The SpectraTest® Validation Package tests optical performance using NIST-traceable standards. Testing can be done in the user's lab on their own schedule. Software validation, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance tools and IQ/OQ/ PQ tools are also available.
