Promega GloMax®-Multi+ Detection System Enables Multiplexing, Quality Data & Increased Productivity
MADISON, WISCONSIN (May 21, 2009)
The just released Promega GloMax®-Multi+ Detection System provides cross functionality with its ability to work in fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance read modes. With the GloMax-Multi+, scientists can easily multiplex their experiments and read luminescent and fluorescent cell-based assay data from the same microplate well. The benefits to scientists, in addition to multiplexing, include quality data and increased productivity, all in less time.
The GloMax-Multi+ provides scientists with many benefits including:
- Ability to multiplex. Measure luminescent and fluorescent
chemistries from a single sample well to determine markers
of cell viability, cytotoxicity and apoptosis, and reporter
gene analysis.
- Flexibility to work with multiple technologies. Read
fluorescence intensity, luminescence and UV-visible
Absorbance. The modular detection design allows a scientist
to expand into these new applications as needed.
- Collection of quality data. Dedicated optical channels
ensure read sensitivity and dynamic range are both
equivalent to the highest performing single-mode instruments
available today.
- Option to work in varied well configurations from 6- to 384.
Plate reading capabilities function at a variety of
throughput levels including 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 384-well
plates.
- Ease of protocol set-up. The integrated drag-and-drop Protocol Composer with LCD color touch screen display enables easy protocol development. The instrument also comes with pre-installed Promega protocols; the addition of an optional injection system enables use with the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter (DLR™) Assay System.
The GloMax-Multi+ also includes a built-in shaker that
enables both linear and orbital mixing. Scientists have the
option to include a heater for precise temperature control
from 2°C above ambient temperature to 45°C.
The GloMax-Multi+ joins a suite of 3 existing GloMax models
that have unsurpassed performance for luminescence
applications.
