02 Nov 2011

Molecular Devices, LLC, have announced the launch of SoftMax® Pro 6 Microplate Data and Analysis Software. SoftMax Pro software is ideal for data analysis critical to researchers in R&D, drug manufacturing, quality control, and analysis in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

SoftMax Pro is a robust, all-in-one software package. With new data analysis features such as 3-D graphing, plate cloning, side-by-side comparison view, and Syntax Helper, it’s easy to do all your data analysis without exporting your data. Additionally, the new all-inclusive reporting removes the need to copy and paste your graphs or tables into text formatted documents. These new features help eliminate the need for additional software.

Commenting on the launch of SoftMax Pro 6 software, Mikey Kindler, BioResearch Director, Molecular Devices, noted, "The release of SoftMax® Pro 6 Data Acquisition and Analysis Software demonstrates our commitment to world-class software development. Not only did we redesign the user interface with significantly expanded data analysis features, but also this new platform is designed with expansion in mind, allowing us to quickly address future user needs and market requirements.”

SoftMax Pro® 6 Software works with Molecular Devices' SpectraMax® absorbance readers, GeminiTM XPS and EM fluorescence readers, SpectraMax Paradigm® platform, M-series, and FilterMax Series microplate readers.

Designed exclusively for the unique requirements and preferences of microplate instrumentation, SoftMax Pro 6 software offers a clean interface with easy access to the most common tasks based on Microsoft’s ribbon interface. SoftMax Pro 6 software expands the data analysis features even further with new Syntax Helper, additional curve fits, 3-D graphing, side-by-side data comparison, and plate cloning. SoftMax Pro 6 also enhances the customization tools with all-inclusive reporting containing live mini-graphs and tables, image display, and layout flexibility. The new SoftMax Pro 6 requires minimal training.
