The VersaMax™ Microplate Reader from Molecular Devices bridges the gap between the affordability of filter-based readers and the flexibility of monochromator-based systems.

tunAble, filterless flexibility

The VersaMax Reader uses a grating monochromator to select the wavelength, so the exact wavelength needed can be selected for every assay. With a wavelength range from 340 to 850 nm, this is equivalent to having 510 free filters.

Using an advanced optical and electronic design, the VersaMax Reader gives the same high performance with round-bottom, flat-bottom or half-area well plates. Dual wavelength readings report the actual absorbance at each wavelength so data can be analyzed according to the user’s preferences. Temperature control up to 45°C allows kinetic assays at ambient and physiological temperatures.

Systems and provides additional flexibility for the user. SoftMax Pro Software can handle analysis requirements from simple endpoint assays to complex kinetic assays requiring custom calculations. The software is both Windows- and Macintosh-compatible and meets the needs of both basic and power users. Choose from nine different curve-fitting routines and use default data reduction, or set up custom formulas for analysis. Data can be analyzed and combined from different plates. (See Figures 1, 2 and 3.)
