Molecular Devices SpectraMax M3 Multimode Microplate Reader

The Molecular Devices SpectraMax M3 Multimode Microplate Reader is a versatile multi-detection platform designed for a wide range of life science research and assay development applications. Utilizing dual monochromator optics, the SpectraMax M3 enables flexible wavelength selection without the need for filters, allowing laboratories to easily optimize assay conditions for fluorescence, luminescence, and UV-visible absorbance measurements.

Part of the SpectraMax M-Series family of multimode readers, the M3 supports microplate formats from 6- to 384-well plates and includes a triple-mode cuvette port for additional sample measurement capabilities. The system integrates with Molecular Devices SoftMax Pro software for data acquisition, analysis, and reporting, making it well suited for laboratories performing ELISA assays, nucleic acid quantification, enzyme kinetics, microbial growth studies, and drug discovery screening workflows.

With configurable detection modes and monochromator-based optics, the SpectraMax M3 offers high assay flexibility for research labs requiring absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence detection on a single instrument platform.

Also available: Molecular Devices SpectraMax M2 Multimode Microplate Reader for absorbance and fluorescence assays.
