Molecular Devices SpectraMax Plus 384 Microplate Reader

The SpectraMax Plus 384 Microplate Reader from Molecular Devices can run both standard spectrophotometer and microplate reader applications on the same instrument. Read one sample or up to 384 in a single plate read using any standard cuvette, 12 x 75 mm test tube, or 96- or 384-well microplate. For more sample throughput, the system can be easily integrated into a full robotic system and easily adapts to fit sample processing requirements.
