7.1. SpectraMax M2 and M2
Plate mixing modes Selectable: off, once prior to any reading, and
once prior to and between kinetic readings
Plate mixing duration Selectable: 0 to 999 seconds
(three-second default)
Microplates Standard 6- to 384-well flat-bottomed micro-
plates. Polystyrene plates for absorbance
wavelengths above 340 nm; UV-transparent
plates for absorbance readings above
220 nm; quartz plates for absorbance read-
ings above 200 nm; low-volume 384-well
plates. Use purple adapter plate only with 96-
and 384-well plates.
Cuvettes Standard height (45 mm) cells with 10 mm
pathlength (12.5 mm x 12.5 mm outside) with
minimum inside width of 4 mm (typical for
3 mL volume cells). See the section "Cuvettes
in SpectraMax M2 and SpectraMax M2
the Appendix for more information.
Test tubes 12 x 75 mm test tubes can be used in the
cuvette chamber with the test tube cover.
