The SpectraMax M5 is a benchtop multi-mode microplate reader designed for absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence, and fluorescence polarization assays. It uses scanning monochromators and AutoPMT optimization to extend dynamic range, and integrates with SoftMax Pro software and automation accessories.
- Detection modes: Absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence, fluorescence polarization.
- Wavelength selection: Scanning monochromators with 1 nm increments across the UV-visible spectrum.
- Plate formats: Supports 6-384 well microplates.
- Light source: Xenon flash lamp for excitation.
- Dynamic range: Extended dynamic range via AutoPMT optimization.
- Temperature control: Ambient +2°C to 60°C.
- Automation: Integrates with plate stacker automation for walk-away operation.
