SoftMax Pro Remote vs Spotxel® Reader

Save time and plan your experiments more efficiently with SMP Remote, an app which enables you to remotely control your Molecular Devices® plate reader through SoftMax® Pro Data Acquisition and Analysis Software and your wireless network. You can use SMP Remote to set the reader temperature, shake the microplate, initiate a plate read, and more. Whether your microplate reader is in the next room, upstairs, or in another building, you can use SMP Remote to monitor your reader. SMP Remote will notify you when the set temperature is reached or show you the instrument status during kinetic or spectrum reads so you are free to continue with your planned lab work. SMP Remote Features: • Set the instrument temperature • Receive temperature notifications • Open and close the drawer • Shake the microplate (push and hold the Shake button) • Initiate a plate read • Monitor instrument status • Open a new protocol • Add a new Experiment or Plate section • Switch between different plate sections within a protocol NOTE: SMP Remote requires SoftMax Pro v6.5 or higher and a compatible microplate reader

Spotxel® Reader is a free, feature-complete app for image-based microplate-reader workflows and colorimetric assay analysis. Use Spotxel® Reader to capture or load a microplate image, align the well grid, select the measured color channel, quantify well signals, define standards and unknowns, calculate a standard curve, derive unknown concentrations, review well data, and export assay results. The guided, page-based workflow includes Camera, Image Analysis, Assay Setup, Standard Curve, Well Data, Assay Report, Purchases, and Settings. Key features: - Capture or load microplate images for analysis - Quantify colorimetric well signals from plate images - Select the measured color channel - Align the well grid manually or with the Align Grid beta feature - Save and load reusable grid profiles - Define standards, unknowns, well names, and notes - Import and export assay setup CSV files - Calculate standard curves and unknown concentrations - Review sortable per-well signal and concentration data - Export well data as CSV - Create PDF assay reports - Organize generated files in the Spotxel Reader workspace under On My iPhone or On My iPad - Select camera and default microplate grid settings - Rotate and flip images and grids - Customize the interface with color profiles and light or dark appearance modes - Access expanded in-app help and documentation All analysis features are available in the free version, which includes a small advertising placement.
