Operating procedure

The Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5 plate reader is dual monochromator, allowing selection of any absorbance wavelength between 200 nm and 1,000 nm, and any excitation wavelength between 250 nm and 850 nm for reading in fluorescence intensity, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), or wavelength-selectable luminescence modes, and 400 - 750 nm for reading in fluorescence polarization mode. The instrument has a cuvette port that can be used for absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence readings and a plate drawer which will accommodate 6-well to 384-well plates.
