Testing performed by our in-house service team:
The SpectraMax M4 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:
• We power on the system and confirm successful initialization.
• We clean and inspect the unit for any signs of wear or damage.
• We test and verify the connection to the control software.
• We evaluate the temperature control up to the maximum set point.
• We test the shaking function and confirm proper operation.
• We verify absorbance functionality using an absorbance test plate.
• We confirm fluorescence performance using a fluorescence test plate.
• We test luminescence using our in-house luminescence test plate.
• We clean, inspect, and lubricate the mechanical components of the StackMax.
• We verify proper communication between the reader and StackMax.
• We test the StakMax Load, Return, and Restack functions for reliable plate handling and automation.

Instrument Overview:
• SpectraMax M4 enables absorbance, fluorescence intensity, luminescence, and TRF detection.
• Uses monochromator-based optics for wavelength selection from 200 to 1000 nm, eliminating the need for filters.
• Accommodates 6- to 384-well plates with top and bottom fluorescence reading options.
• Offers temperature control from ambient to 60 DegC and supports shaking for assay flexibility.
• The instrument provides spectral scanning and kinetic read capabilities in multiple detection modes.
• StakMax automates plate loading to SpectraMax M4 for walkaway operation.
• Combined setup increases throughput in labs with compact design and seamless instrument integration.

Instrument Application:
• Protein quantification (e.g., BCA or Bradford assays)
• DNA/RNA concentration measurement
• Cell viability and cytotoxicity assays
• Reporter gene expression (luminescence-based)
• Enzyme kinetics using absorbance or fluorescence

The Key Features:
• Multi-mode detection in one instrument
• Monochromator-based wavelength selection
• Measures 200–1000 nm range spectra
• Supports 6- to 384-well plate formats
• Includes temperature control, shaking
• Top/bottom fluorescence read options
• Automated plate loading
