Like conventional microplate readers, multimode microplate readers detect reaction signals from microtiter plates in order to perform assays such as ELISA, protein detection, and drug screening assays. Unlike conventional plate readers, multimode microplate readers are able to perform two or more forms of detection allowing a single piece of equipment to perform a wider range of assays. This can increase throughput and efficiency, thus saving time and space in the lab. Important things to consider when purchasing a multimode microplate reader are the particular combinations of assays desired, ease of use, ability to add or remove functionality, and the unit price.

| Description | Z-height focusing is enabled for fast top- and bottom-reads for all read modes. By performing Z-height optimization, a lens is adjusted to address low volumes or varied well geometry.
Eliminate manual gain adjustment -
The detection cartridge utilizes an energy intensity optimization technique Z-height focusing is enabled for fast top- and bottom-reads for all read modes. By performing Z-height optimization, a lens is adjusted to address low volumes or varied well geometry.
Eliminate manual gain adjustment -
The detection cartridge utilizes an energy intensity optimization technique allowing you to read up to seven logs of sample concentration in a single pass of a plate without manual gain adjustment.
Configuration changes in minutes -
Adding new read modes is fast and simple with the detection cartridge system. Order additional detection cartridges as your application needs change, and install them by yourself in under two minutes.
Increased dynamic range and sensitivity -
Use predefined reductions, columns, and summary formulas, or create custom calculations. Analyze EC50 and Z-factors to identify assay quality, and graph results with over 21 curve fit options.
Other features and benefits include: - Get automatic Z-height optimization
- Eliminate manual gain adjustment
- Tailor your data analysis
