Superior sensitivity so you don’t miss hits
Glomax® microplate readers offer superior sensitivity and auto-gain adjustment letting you measure weak and strong signals on the same plate.
Masking so crosstalk doesn’t mislead your results
The masking design of GloMax® microplate readers means you can be confident that the results from each well are not skewed by signal from neighboring wells.
Broad detection range so you don’t limit your experiments
With the broad detection range of GloMax® microplate readers, you can measure signals ranging from high intensity to near physiological levels.
