Injectors
When your instrument is equipped with the SpectraMax Injector System, the injectors in the
instrument enable you to deliver a reagent to the wells of a microplate. You use the injectors
to deliver a specific volume of reagent to initiate a reaction that occurs rapidly and results in
a luminescent or fluorescent signal that must be detected quickly. The injector system is
method independent which means you can run injector protocols for all read modes:
Absorbance, Luminescence (all wavelength), Luminescence Monochromator, Fluorescence
Intensity top, and Fluorescence Intensity bottom.
Note: You must use a computer running SoftMax Pro Software to operate the
instrument for advanced acquisition or injector protocols.
Before you use the injectors or do maintenance operations, make sure that you are familiar
with the safety information in this guide. See Safety Information on page 5.
