Multidetection microplate readers with dualmonochromators, dual-mode cuvette ports, and top- and bottom-reading capability. Detection modalities include absorbance (UV-Vis Abs) and fluorescence intensity (FI). Endpoint, kinetic, spectrum and area-well scanning read types and the PathCheck Sensor allow homogeneous and heterogeneous microplate assays to be performed in one flexible system. SpectraMax M2 readers provide for easy conversion and optimization of very-low-throughput to medium-high-throughput assays, faster, more precise results and reagent savings. In addition, combined absorbance and fluorescence intensity assays can be run by issuing a single read command.

SPECTRAmax GEMINI XS Dual-Scanning Microplate Spectrofluorometer can perform a variety of fluorescent applications as well as some time-resolved fluorescent and luminescent assays. The extreme flexibility and high sensitivity of the SPECTRAmax GEMINI XS make it appropriate for applications within the fields of biochemistry, cell biology, immunology, molecular biology, and microbiology. The SPECTRAmax GEMINI XS uses two holographic diffraction grating monochromators which allow for individual optimization of wavelengths for both excitation and emission. The dual-scanning capability can also be used to determine excitation and emission settings for new fluorescent probes. Mirrored optics focus the light into the sample volume and cutoff filters are used to reduce stray light and minimize background interference. The light source is a highpowered Xenon flashlamp; additional flexibility is provided by allowing a variable number of lamp flashes per read. Microplates having 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384 wells can be used in the SPECTRAmax GEMINI XS. Fluorescent detection is achieved from the top, through the entire depth of sample in the microplate well. Detection of species collected on membrane plates is also possible. Two plate carrier adapters are provided with the instrument. The blue adapter is required for optimum performance with standard 96- and 384-well format microplates. The red adapter has been optimized for use with Cliniplate 384 microplates.

ImageXpress Micro Confocal system is a high-content solution that can switch between widefield and confocal imaging of fixed and live cells. It can capture high quality images of whole organisms, thick tissues, 2D and 3D models, and cellular or intracellular events. The spinning disc confocal and sCMOS camera enable imaging of fast and rare events like cardiac cell beating and stem cell differentiation. With MetaXpress software and flexible options like water immersion objectives to choose from, the system enables many confocal imaging applications from 3D assay development to screening.

Dissociator is a benchtop instrument for the semi-automated dissociation of tissues into single-cell suspensions or thorough homogenates. A single sample or two samples in parallel can be processed. Two types of gentleMACS Tubes used with the instrument enable the time-saving and easy dissociation or homogenization of tissues in a closed system. The instrument offers optimized gentleMACS Programs for a variety of specific applications. Special protocols have been developed for various tissues. The standardized tissue dissociation or homogenization procedures make for and reproducible results. For higher throughput and even more flexibility see also the gentleMACS Octo Dissociator. For fully automated tissue dissociation browse the gentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters
