The SpectraMax iD3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader by Molecular Devices is a versatile and high-performance instrument designed to meet the diverse needs of life science laboratories. It supports multiple detection modes, including absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as ELISAs, nucleic acid quantification, protein assays, and cell-based studies.
Equipped with a large, high-resolution touchscreen interface, the iD3 allows users to set up custom protocols, run experiments, and view results without the need for a dedicated computer workstation. The built-in near-field communication (NFC) functionality enables quick access to personalized workflows and protocols with a single tap, enhancing efficiency in multi-user environments.
The iD3 features a superior optical system that includes a xenon flash lamp and an ultra-cooled photomultiplier tube (PMT) cooled to –5°C, reducing background noise and providing excellent sensitivity with a wide dynamic range. It offers temperature control up to 65°C, orbital and infinity shaking, a four-monochromator optical pathway with high-efficiency gratings, well scanning up to a 20×20 read matrix, and supports plate formats from 6- to 384-wells.
