Glomax Platereader

About the GloMax®–Multi+ with Instinct™ Software

  • Measures luminescence, fluorescence, visible or UV-visible absorbance in 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plate formats. Instinct™ software allows data analysis right on the touch screen.
  • 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 for 6- to 96-well plate formats.
  • Luminescence module (factory installed):

Fluorescence Module (user installed):

To achieve high performance, the Fluorescence Module uses powerful light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as excitation sources. Five standard optical kits are available to measure the most popular fluorophores.
