Appendix A: Specifications

Thermal specifications for plates used in the instrument apply to flat-bottom plates with isolated
wells. All other plate specifications apply to standard 96-well polystyrene flat-bottom plates.
Note: Technical specifications are subject to change without notice. Molecular Devices
provides validation documentation for software and hardware, as well as absorbance
and fluorescence detection test tools with its SpectraTest® solutions. The SpectraTest
line of microplate reader validation packages provide automated and comprehensive
validation of a microplate reader's optical performance.
