P0828557 Molecular Devices LLC Grant Fund Accounts, Biological Science, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences

29,999.00 BASIS: Scientific Judgement.Microplate reader from Molecular Devices for Biological Sciences. The end user had 3 microplate readers demonstrated. It was agreed that the instruments from Molecular Devices and Thermo Fisher displayed significantly better performance and were easier to use than the least expensive model, the GloMax from Promega. The decision to purchase the i3x-R model from Molecular Devices is based on the design of the dual injectors and the ease of upgrading this unit, should we require additional modes of detection in the future. Thermo-Fisher is slightly less expensive, but the quoted price does not include a computer, which will be required to operate the instrument.
