Assay Kits
The FlexStation 3 Microplate Reader is supplied with SoftMax® Pro Microplate Data Acquisition & Analysis Software, Molecular Devices' industry leading all-in-one data acquisition and analysis software. Among the various ready-to-read protocols, users will find pre-written SpectraDrop™ Micro-Volume protocols enabling micro volume applications measurement.
SoftMax Pro Software offers:
Compliance: Softmax Pro Software also enables the user to validate the integrated 8- and 16-channel pipettor head performance. The FlexStation 3 Microplate Reader offers this fluid transfer validation using the patented PathCheck® Pathlength Correction technology. These tools can be used in conjunction with SoftMax Pro Validation Package and IQ/OQ/PQ Validation protocols for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
