DURIP: Multi Mode Microplate Reader for Research and Education

Abstract

Major Goals: We requested funds for a state-of-the-art SpectraMax iD5 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader with aStakMax plate handling system. This five-mode platform can measure absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence,time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), and tunable fluorescence polarization (FP) in samples. The platform uses a xenon flash lamp and an ultra-cooled photomultiplier tube (PMT) that reduces background noise for excellent sensitivity and a wide dynamic detection range. The system includes 2 injectors for flash kinetics measurements and the StakMax plate handling system enabled the automated reading of up to 50 microwell plates. The system dramatically upgrades and enhances the research activities of several projects at Columbia University that have been funded by, or will be submitted for funding to, the Department of Defense.
