SpectraMax® i3x Multi-Mode Microplate Reader

Unlimited breadth of user-upgradeable application modules expands research capabilities

The SpectraMax® i3x Multi-Mode Microplate Reader measures absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence with available upgrades including western blot, cell imaging, and fast kinetics with injectors plus additional detection modes. With the SpectraMax® MiniMax™ 300 Imaging Cytometer, industry-leading SoftMax® Pro Software, and user-configurable detection modules, the reader provides you with the ability to explore cellular pathways and protein expression on one microplate reader.

• Capture flash assays with ease

  The SpectraMax i3x Injector Cartridge with SmartInject® Technology expands your research capabilities to include flash-based applications including dual luciferase and ATP assays.

• Reduce background noise

  The cooled PMT reduces background noise allowing for a more sensitive, wide dynamic range in extremely low light.

• Increase fluorescence performance

  Powerful combination of Xenon flash lamp and LEDs provides unmatched signal strength and superior sensitivity with Spectral Fusion™ Illumination.

Key Features

• User-configurable applications

  User-configurable detection modules expand the reader’s detection capabilities to include AlphaScreen, Time-Resolved Fluorescence, HTRF, fast kinetics with injectors, western blot detection, and more.

• No-stain cell analysis

  The StainFree™ Cell Detection Algorithm for brightfield cell segmentation enables cell counting and confluency measurement without destructive stains, simplifying the cell counting workflow.

• Multi-channel functionality

  Two fluorescence detection channels on the MiniMax cytometer enable the analysis of cell viability or cell toxicity assays, including ratiometric assays like live-dead and transfection efficiency.

• Cellular pathway analysis

  Cell confluence and cell viability imaging, western blot analysis, and quantitation of nucleic acids and protein, can be captured on one reader.
