Product Description
The VersaMax™ microplate readers from Molecular Devices bridges the gap between the affordability of filter-based readers and the flexibility of monochromator-based systems. It is used to perform endotoxin and glucan testing using the chromogenic or turbidimetric methods.Tunable, Filterless Flexibility
The VersaMax™ reader uses a grating monochromator to select the wavelength, so the exact wavelength needed can be selected for every assay. With a wavelength range from 340 to 850 nm.Exceptional Performance
The dual-wavelength readings report the actual absorbance at each wavelength, so you can analyze the data the way you want. The reader also provides controlled temperatures, up to 45°C, for kinetics at ambient and elevated temperatures.Product Packaging
