Description
Molecular Devices SpectraMax Gemini EM Fluorescence Microplate Reader
The Molecular Devices SpectraMax Gemini EM Fluorescence Microplate Reader is a monochromator-based fluorescence detection system designed for sensitive fluorescence measurements across a wide range of life science applications. Unlike filter-based readers, the Gemini EM utilizes tunable monochromators for both excitation and emission wavelength selection, allowing researchers to optimize assays without purchasing additional optical filters.
The system supports fluorescence intensity detection for nucleic acid quantification, protein analysis, enzyme kinetics, cell-based assays, reporter gene studies, and fluorescence-based screening workflows. Independent excitation and emission wavelength selection provides flexibility when working with multiple fluorophores and developing custom assays.
The SpectraMax Gemini EM is widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry, drug discovery, pharmaceutical research, biotechnology laboratories, and academic research facilities. Its ability to perform spectral scanning, endpoint measurements, and kinetic assays makes it suitable for both routine laboratory testing and advanced research applications.
This Molecular Devices SpectraMax Gemini EM Fluorescence Microplate Reader is offered fully tested, in working condition by Alliant Scientific.
