Multi-mode Microplate Reader for Academia and Biotech Laboratories
The SpectraMax® Mini Multi-Mode Microplate Reader, from Molecular Devices LLC is a compact and economical solution designed to save researchers benchtop space and budget. Built on the company’s nearly four decades of experience delivering high-performance microplate reader technology to the market, the SpectraMax Mini reader is robust enough to meet a lab’s core microplate reader needs, while its compact size is ideal for integration into a large workstation with multiple instruments.
“We created the SpectraMax Mini reader for budget-conscious labs in need of a versatile, high-performing multi-mode solution,” said Susan Murphy, President of Molecular Devices. “The new reader joins our extensive SpectraMax line of user-friendly microplate readers - the industry’s most cited brand - to help scientists from academic labs to fast-paced biotechnology organisations advance their research.”
The user-upgradeable SpectraMax Mini reader features up to three modes of detection for UV-Visible absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence, allowing for key applications like reporter gene expression, ELISA, DNA and protein quantitation, cell viability, and more. Integrated with the system is the protocol control and data analysis software, SoftMax® Pro Software, to enable rapid data generation and analysis.
The SpectraMax Mini reader accommodates various plate types from 6- to 384-well formats and is user upgradeable from two to three modes of detection. The Xenon flash lamp allows measurement of fluorescence from 250 to 850 nm - unlike halogen lamps - for a wider range of applications such as tryptophan assays.
An approachable design with plug-and-play filter cubes for measuring fluorescence and luminescence, alleviates the need to input excitation and emission wavelengths manually. The instrument includes the world’s most published microplate reader control and data analysis software, SoftMax Pro Software, complete with time-saving, pre- written protocols for commonly used applications.

Virus-based Tools for Cell Engineering
AMSBIO has added a new range of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) to its suite of virus- based tools for cell engineering and the study of viral infection.
Vesicular Stomatitis Virus is an enveloped, negative-stranded RNA virus with a simple structure. Its ability to infect a wide range of mammalian cell types has made it a valuable tool to study virus entry, replication, and assembly. A key advantage of the AMSBIO VSV model is that it undergoes only one round of replication. Consequently, it is safe to use and requires only a biosafety level 2 facility.
VSV vectors offer a robust model of viral infection that can be efficiently pseudo typed with envelope glycoproteins derived from heterologous viruses, making them highly suitable for studying the entry mechanisms of such high-risk viruses.
Drawing upon proprietary technologies and reagents, recombinant VSV vectors from AMSBIO benefit from top quality production protocols that deliver products unmatched in terms in terms of titer, purity, viability and consistency.
Recombinant VSV vectors from AMSBIO are the viral product of choice for a growing variety of applications including studying mechanisms of viral entry into host cells, identification of cellular receptors used by viruses for cell entry, screening of viral entry inhibitors and vaccine development research.

Single Cell Seeder Optimises Cell Line Development Workfl ows
Advanced Instruments announces the launch of Solentim VIPS PRO, a high efficiency single cell seeder. VIPS PRO is a game-changer for single cell seeding, combining powerful, efficient seeding technology with definitive image-based proof - not probability - of monoclonality and proprietary Artificial Intelligence-driven cell recognition for increased productivity and confidence.
A major challenge in CLD is providing absolute proof of clonal line generation that regulatory authorities require. VIPS PRO offers a unique Double-Lock Assurance of clonality, generating the two pieces of image-based evidence required for IND submission. Compared to other methods, such as limiting dilution, VIPS PRO’s industry- leading seeding and clonal assurance process eliminates human error, reduces hands- on time, and accelerates process development and clinical manufacturing.
