Each Molecular Devices microplate reader is shipped with a license key for the SoftMax® Pro
Data Acquisition and Analysis Software that you install on the computer that you use to operate
the instrument. The SoftMax Pro Software provides integrated instrument control, data display,
and statistical data analysis.
You should install the SoftMax Pro Software on the computer before you set up the instrument.
Please be aware that some updates to the SoftMax Pro Software require a purchase. Contact
Molecular Devices before you update the software. To download the latest version of the
software, visit:
