One SpectraMax, Endless Discoveries: empowering western blot detection
Welcome to the SpectraMax® i3x Multi-Mode Microplate Reader, the ultimate solution for your research needs. With this versatile device, you can perform a wide range of essential cell-based assays, including absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements. User-configurable detection modules expand the reader’s detection capabilities to include AlphaScreen and AlphaLisa, Time-Resolved Fluorescence, TR-FRET (including HTRF), fast kinetics with injectors, western blot detection, and more. Our Super Cooled PMT reduces background noise, providing a more sensitive and expanded dynamic range in extremely low light conditions. Achieve unparalleled sensitivity with our patent-pending technology. Experience unparalleled dynamic range on each plate without the need to re-read the samples, using Auto-Intensity Adjustment. Complete your run, whether kinetic or endpoint, without concern about incomplete or incompatible data due to detector saturation issues. Observe the viability of your cells with the SpectraMax® MiniMax 300 Imaging Cytometer. This field upgradeable, cellular imaging option enables quick imaging and analysis of cells and provides a front row view of phenotypic changes that accompany cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, and protein expression.

Customer Breakthrough
ETAP-Lab Contract Research Organization (CRO)
“The SpectraMax i3x Multi-Mode Microplate Reader and SoftMax Pro Software provide greater flexibility than other systems”.
ETAP-Lab’s scientists chose the SpectraMax i3x Multi-Mode Microplate Reader and SoftMax® Pro Software because they allow multi-mode measurements and provide them with greater flexibility than other systems. The team performs fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance measurements to increase efficiency when testing cell confluence, cell viability and screening for new drug candidates for Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s diseases. Scientists in ETAP-Lab are also using the ScanLater™ Western Blot Detection Cartridge module as a tool to shorten the investigation of both protein expression levels and signalling pathways of interest for their clients.
