The result of this design is an instrument with superior performance that is easy to use, is affordable, and can be customized to your laboratory's needs. EASE OF USE The GloMax®-Multi Microplate Multimode Reader is designed to be put into use straight from the box, without the need for special training. The built-in computer eliminates the connectivity hassles, cost, and space requirements of running an external computer. Assay set-up on the GloMax®-Multi is effortless with several flexible set-up options to choose from. AFFORDABLE MODULARITY The GloMax®-Multi Microplate Multimode Reader is a modular
instrument that easily fits into most budgets. Purchase the technology
or modes that you need now and add onto the system later as your needs
expand. For example, the GloMax®-Multi can be purchased as a luminometer, then fluorescence and/or absorbance modules can be
purchased and added later.
DATA HANDLING To transfer data to a PC or Mac, simply copy the data from the GloMax®-Multi then move the USB stick (included) to your computer. Analyze your data when and where you find it most convenient. MICROPLATE FORMAT Accepts 96-well plates conforming to the SBS plate standard. COMPUTER INTERFACE(Optional) For those labs that would prefer to operate the GloMax®-Multi through an external PC, the optional PC Software contains all of the same ease-of-use features that are available via the instrument's built-in touch screen. INJECTORS Single or dual auto injectors are available for flash-based luminescence applications or dual-reporter assays. Each injector system has a volume range of 25 - 200 μl in 5μl increments. Injectors are controlled using the touch screen and fluidics wizard. PRIME and FLUSH commands provide easy maintenance and a REVERSE PURGE command saves valuable reagents. COLOR TOUCH SCREEN The GloMax®-Multi combines a 6.6” color touch screen display with an onboard Windows-based computer. INTUITIVE USER INTERFACE Setting up a run and retrieving data are fast and simple while maintaining the flexibility needed for advanced or custom protocols. TOUCH SCREEN SELECTION The Windows-based computer built into the GloMax-Multi Microplate Multimode Reader offers dynamic user-interface capabilities. Simply choose from three options on the instrument touch screen to start setting up a run. CREATE A NEW PROTOCOL Use the NEW PROTOCOL wizard to create a customized protocol. The wizard guides you step-by-step through choosing read parameters, injection methods, and plate wells to read, and in saving your protocol for future use. CHOOSE A PRELOADED PROTOCOL Choose SELECT PROTOCOL to access to the most popular assays from common reagent suppliers, or instantly access previously saved user-customized protocols. TOTAL INSTRUMENT CONTROL From the INSTRUMENT CONTROL screen, simply touch the parameter to change or customize all settings necessary to obtain the perfect read for your application. Once your parameters are set, you can save your settings for future use.
DETECTION MODES Luminescence Module >8 Logs Dynamic Range To achieve the sensitivity of a dedicated luminometer, the luminescence channel is separated from other measurement technologies and positioned directly above the sample well. These conditions maximize light capture for the best possible sensitivity. In addition, a low-noise photomultiplier tube ensures that collected light is not compromised in any way. This design makes the GloMax-Multi Microplate Multimode Reader between 10 to 1000 times more sensitive than competing multimode luminometers. In addition to high sensitivity, the GloMax®-Multi boasts greater than 8 logs of dynamic range, eliminating the need to dilute samples or manage detector-driven gain changes. The photomultiplier tube automatically adjusts for the optimum reading of bright or dim samples. This means that the GloMax®-Multi is capable of achieving a reading range 2 - 3 logs more than that of competing multimode luminometers.
Fluorescence Module Easy Optical Kit Switching Wavelength-matched LEDs Ensure High Sensitivity To achieve high performance, the Fluorescence Module uses powerful light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as excitation sources. LEDs have very specific light-output profiles that closely match the excitation profiles of commonly used fluorescent molecules. LED usage increases sensitivity by fully exciting the fluorophore and reducing non-specific light leakage, a common problem when using broad-spectrum light sources. Four standard optical kits are available to measure the most popular fluorophores. In addition, custom optical kits can be readily made for non-standard applications. Optical kits can be easily exchanged in seconds and built-in software ensures that the installed optical kit matches the selected protocol. Designed as a user-installable module, you can either buy the Fluorescence Module with your GloMax®-Multi instrument or add it to your system later when you are ready to run fluorescence experiments.
Absorbance Module 0-5.0 OD Reading Range Reads Single or Dual Wavelengths The GloMax®-Multi Microplate Multimode Reader with Absorbance Module provides measurements that are highly sensitive and cover a wide dynamic range. The absorbance channel has a reading range of 0 - 5.0 Optical Density (OD) with an accuracy that deviates less than 2%. The channel consists of a white LED with a spectral range of 400 to 800 nm positioned at the bottom of the instrument. The Absorbance Module comes with two open filter slots and four factory-installed filters. The preinstalled filters are for 450, 560, 600, and 750 nm as these cover the most common ELISA and protein assays. With two open filter slots, you can also customize the absorbance module by adding the filter paddle of your choice.
