Promega's Multimode Microplate Readers are skillfully designed for today’s life science laboratory. In addition to having performance on par with single-mode instruments, both
GloMax®-Multi Microplate Readers blend user-friendly operation with easy data handling and flexible purchasing options. The results of these designs are instruments with superior performance that are easy to use, are affordable, and can be customized to your laboratory’s needs.
GloMax®-Multi+ Multimode Microplate Reader with Instinct™
Software
6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates
 The
GloMax®-Multi+ Multimode Microplate Reader accepts 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates conforming to the SBS plate standard. This plate reader will measure luminescence, fluorescence, visible absorbance, and UV-visible absorbance and comes standard with a linear and orbital shaking feature. Heating capabilities can be purchased as an option. Unlike the
GloMax®-Multi Multimode Microplate Reader (below), the GloMax®-Multi+ Microplate Reader includes a one-of-a-kind protocol composer that makes setting up a custom protocol easy. Simply drag and drop any number of parameters into the protocol menu and press start.
Instinct Software is installed on every GloMax®-Multi+ and is an onboard
data analysis software package that allows for data analysis right on
the instrument touch screen. Label wells, choose curve fit analysis, and
view analyzed and graphed results. Also, this software allows you to
create custom protocols on a computer and transfer them to the
instrument to run.
GloMax®-Multi Multimode Microplate Reader
96-well plates
The
GloMax®-Multi Multimode Microplate Reader accepts 96-well plates conforming to the SBS plate standard. This plate reader will measure luminescence, fluorescence, and visible absorbance. Assay set-up is effortless with several flexible set-up options to choose from
GloMax®-96 Microplate Luminometer
96-well plates
The
GloMax®-96 Microplate Luminometer is a state-of-the-art instrument that meets the requirement for high sensitivity and broad dynamic range that is necessary for chemiluminescent and bioluminescent applications. With optional Single or Dual Auto Injectors, the
GloMax®-96 Microplate Luminometer is a versatile luminescence system capable of performing both flash and glow-type luminescent assays.
GloMax®-Multi+ Multimode Microplate Reader with Luminescence Module
6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates
The
GloMax®-Multi+ Multimode Microplate Reader with the Luminescence Module is designed to deliver performance equivalent to dedicated microplate luminometers while also offering the flexibility of a multimode reader. To achieve sensitivity on par with that 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 conjunction, a low-noise photomultiplier tube ensures that collected light is not compromised in any way. This design makes the
GloMax®-Multi+ Microplate Reader between 10 to 1000 times more sensitive than competing multimode luminometers. In addition to high sensitivity, this instrument boasts greater than 8 logs of dynamic range, eliminating the need to dilute samples or manage detector-driven gain changes. To achieve this extra large reading range, the
GloMax®-Multi+ Microplate Reader is capable of simultaneously measuring samples of varying brightness. The photomultiplier tube automatically adjusts for the optimum reading of bright or dim samples. This means that the
GloMax®-Multi+ Microplate Reader is capable of achieving a reading range of 2 – 3 logs more than competing multimode luminometers.

GloMax®-Multi+ Multimode Microplate Reader with Fluorescence Module
6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates
The
GloMax®-Multi+ Multimode Microplate Reader with the Fluorescence Module (user installable) is designed to deliver both high performance and user flexibility. To achieve high performance, the
GloMax®-Multi+ Microplate Fluorescence Module uses an epifluorescent design to ensure a consistent measurement position. This pinpointed approach reduces the impact of volume fluctuation within small samples by reliably measuring at the same position from well to well. The Fluorescence Module accepts different Fluorescence Optical Kits for measuring a variety of fluorophores. Four standard optical kits are available to measure the most popular fluorophores including Hoechst dye, fluorescein, rhodamine,
Cy3, and Cy5. 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 application protocol. Protocols for DNA
Quantitation, RNA Quantitation and Protein Quantitation assays are preprogrammed into the
GloMax®-Multi+ Microplate Reader for your convenience. The Fluorescence Module is designed as a user-installable module. This means that you can either buy the Fluorescence Module now or add it to your system later when your lab is ready to run fluorescence experiments.

In addition, it is easy to run ratiometric absorbance-based assays to adjust for optical imperfections or to assess DNA purity. Simply use the color touch screen to select two desired wavelengths. The instrument has an easy-to-read screen that displays Optical Density (OD) values for each wavelength or a ratio of two wavelengths.
Visible Absorbance Module (400 - 800 nm)
The Visible Absorbance Module has a reading range of 0 - 5.0 OD with an accuracy that deviates less than 2%. This module comes with four factory-installed filters for measuring 450, 560, 600, and 750 nm. These filters accommodate the most common ELISA and protein assays. Additionally, you can customize the module by inserting a filter of your choice into either of two removable filter paddles.
