Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5/M5e Microplate Reader Setup Guide
The document provides step‑by‑step instructions for setting up the SpectraMax M5/M5e microplate reader to run Life Technologies GeneBLAzer® assays. It includes recommended optics wavelengths, software configuration, plate type selection, and data analysis settings, and it is also applicable to compatible SpectraMax models.
Users are instructed to open SoftMax® Pro 6, select the GeneBLAzer protocol, configure optics (excitation 410 nm, emissions 460 nm and 530 nm), set the plate format (96 or 384 wells), enable bottom‑read mode, use automatic PMT gain, and run the read. After acquisition, the guide shows how to assign wells to template groups and view results for further analysis.
