Description
The SpectraMax iD3 is a monochromator-based, multi-mode plate reader. Typical fields include biochemistry, cell biology, immunology, molecular biology and microbiology. Typical applications include ELISA, nucleic acid, protein, enzymatic type homogeneous and heterogeneous assays, microbial growth, endotoxin testing, and pipettor calibration. The 2×2 monochromators permit individual optimization of wavelengths for both excitation and emission in fluorescence readings. Mirrored optics shape the light, and a height-adjustable objective lens focuses the beam into the sample volume. PMT Gain can be set to automatic, high, medium, or low.
The SpectraMax iD3 is designed for high throughput and efficiency, accommodating standard 6- to 384-well microplates. Its optimized optics and spectral scanning capabilities ensure high sensitivity and accuracy across a broad range of wavelengths, enabling precise detection of even low-abundance signals.
