FlexStation® 3 Multimode Plate Reader, Molecular Devices

FlexStation® 3 Benchtop Multi-Mode Microplate Reader combines Molecular Devices’ SpectraMax® M5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader performance with an integrated 8- or 16-channel pipettor into one compact benchtop reader.

• Integrated pipettor
• High-efficiency optics
• Several configurations

The FlexStation 3 Microplate Reader high-efficiency monochromator optics are tunable for absorbance, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, and time-resolved fluorescence assays

Users have several choices when configuring the FlexStation 3 Microplate Reader. Users can choose from 96-well pipetting, 384-well pipetting, or both. Once installed, the pipettors can be changed by the user with no tools in under 5 minutes.

Using an 8- or 16-channel pipettor, the FlexStation 3 Microplate Reader offers added assay flexibility over dispenser-based systems by directly transferring reagents from 96- or 384- well source plates to a read plate, one column at a time. In addition, users can define individual reagents and concentrations to be delivered to each column. The direct transfer capability reduces reagent consumption and allows more assay conditions to be explored in a single microplate, making the system more amenable to agonist and antagonist assay formats.

It also has a dedicated photomultiplier tube for luminescence assays.
