Molecular Device SpectraMax Plus 384 Microplate Reader (A)

  Molecular Devices Spectra Max Plus 384 Microplate Reader (A)   location: AS8-2009A   status: in service   reserve use
UV-visible absorbance reader for plates with up to 384-well plates and individual cuvettes. Tunable monochromator allows for reading as many as 6 wavelengths/sample in the range of 190nm - 1000nm in both end-point and kinetic assays.  

Applications

Essentially, all UV/VIS spectrophotometric assays that are read in a conventional spectrophotometer or microplate reader can be read in the SpectraMax Plus384:

• DNA/RNA/protein quantitation and purity
• Colorimetric assays
• ELISAs/EIAs
• Immunoassays
• Drug dissolution profiles
• Enzyme kinetics (e.g., Ki, Km, etc.)
• Kinetic turbidimetric methods
• ADME-Tox assays
• Lipophilicity assays
• Human Serum Albumin binding assays
• Permeability assays (PAMPA)
• Solubility assays
