Fluorimeter - Glomax® Explorer Multimode Detector System(a)

The GloMax® Explorer Multimode Detector System(a) is a high-performance fluorimeter developed with Promega reagent assays to provide a simple means of detecting advanced chemistries. This instrument provides researchers superior luminescence sensitivity and dynamic range for both strong and weak bioluminescence experimental samples as well as seamless integration with industry-leading bioluminescence assays from Promega. 

GloMax® Explorer Multimode Detector System(a)

GloMax® Explorer is able to measure luminescence, fluorescence intensity and visible absorbance. The instrument is operated by an integrated Tablet PC, which provides quick and easy navigation through the control options. Exporting your results is seamless with a variety of options, including export to your local data network. The GloMax® Explorer System is designed to comply with FDA 21CFR Part 11 regulations (user authentication and authorization, data integrity and protection, electronic signatures and audit trails).
