The Right Tools for Every Scientific Masterpiece: Discover the NEW SpectraMax iD Series
Just like a painter selects the perfect brush, researchers choose the right tools to bring their experiments to life. The NEW SpectraMax iD3s and iD5e readers are more than instruments—they’re extensions of your scientific imagination.
Whether you're designing a straightforward ELISA or a multi-layered live-cell assay masterpiece, the NEW SpectraMax® iD3s and iD5e Multi-Mode Microplate Readers deliver the flexibility and performance today’s research demands. The iD3s reader offers a streamlined, affordable platform with a tunable monochromator and temperature control, while the iD5e reader adds enhanced detection modes including time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) and tunable fluorescence polarization (FP) and can be expanded to include TR-FRET, HTRF, BRET and western blot. Both readers support onboard fluidics with optional dual injectors.
For live-cell assays and microbial growth experiments, environmental for CO₂/O₂ regulation and advanced shaking are available to maintain ideal growth conditions. Data acquisition and analysis are driven by SoftMax® Pro Software—the most cited microplate reader software in the industry.
