SpectraMax® Paradigm® Multi-Mode Microplate Detection Platform by Molecular Devices®

The patented SpectraMax® Paradigm® Multi-Mode Detection Platform allows for real-time system configuration by the user in under two minutes by harnessing application-specific cartridges. This unique modularity means the user can perform an ever-evolving array of assays all in one revolutionary and robust system.

SpectraMax Paradigm detection cartridges are application-focused, providing robust results for the application on-hand but also exhibiting high levels of sensitivity for a variety of assays with its high-powered optics. The z-height focusing is enabled for both top- and bottom-read configurations for all appropriate read modes and z-height optimization addresses varying low volumes. Fluorescence measurements no longer require a gain adjustment because the cartridge design utilizes an energy intensity optimization technique that allows the user to read up to seven logs of sample concentration in a single pass of a plate with no manual intervention.

The system is powered by industry-standard SoftMax® Pro 6 Software which, with its intuitive built-in features such as protocol templates for common assay types, flexible protocol editor, and a spectral optimization wizard, allows the user to power on and start without lengthy training.
