In addition to giving performance equivalent to that of single-mode instruments, the GloMax®-Multi+ blends user-friendly operation with easy data handling and flexible purchasing options. 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. PERFORMANCE The GloMax®-Multi+ Microplate Multimode Reader is designed for today's life science laboratory. In addition to giving performance equivalent to that of single-mode instruments, the GloMax®-Multi+ blends user-friendly operation with easy data handling and flexible purchasing options. 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, 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. TEMPERATURE CONTROL (OPTIONAL) The GloMax®-Multi+ may be purchased with an optional heater, allowing precise temperature control from 2º above ambient temperature to 45º C. SHAKING The GloMax ®-Multi+ is configured with a factory-installed shaker that allows either linear or orbital shaking. MICROPLATE FORMAT Accepts 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384-well plates conforming to the SBS plate standard. COMPUTER INTERFACE For those labs that would prefer to operate the GloMax®-Multi+ through an external PC, the 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 for 6- to 96-well plate formats. 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. PROTOCOL COMPOSER Complex protocols can easily be developed by combining multiple technologies into one experiment. Save time and reagents by testing for both luminescence and fluorescence, or fluorescence and absorbance, in one run. INSTINCT SOFTWARE With Instinctâ„¢ software, included with GloMax Multi+ instruments, you can perform data analysis right on the touch screen. With a few simple button selections, label your data, choose an analysis model and see the analyzed results after the data is collected. 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.
INSTINCTâ„¢ SOFTWARE PLATE MAP Use the advanced plate map features to select a curve fit model, create sample groups, and label wells.
INSTINCT SOFTWARE RESULTS Results screens display raw data, calculated concentrations and graphs for instant review of your data.
PROTOCOL COMPOSER From the INSTRUMENT CONTROL screen, move a parameter into the Protocol Composer list to create multi-parameter protocols. Complex protocols can easily be developed by combining multiple technologies into one experiment. Save time and reagents by testing for both luminescence and fluorescence, or fluorescence and absorbance, in one run. 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 Flexible Filter System Reads Single or Dual Wavelengths The GloMax-Multi+ Microplate Multimode Reader provides you with two different options for making photometric measurements. A Visible Absorbance Module (400 - 800 nm) or a UV-Visible Absorbance Module (200 - 1100 nm). Both modules are user installable, so there is no downtime or need for a service call. Both the Visible and UV-Visible Absorbance Modules come factory-installed with four common filters: 450, 560, 600, and 750 nm wavelengths. The UV-Visible module also comes with a 260 and 280 nm filter. In addition, you can customize either module by inserting a filter of your choice into either of two removable filter paddles.
