Can the Emax reader by Molecular Devices be used with the KX2 robot?

The Emax reader from Molecular Devices can indeed be automated through the KX2 robot software PAA (Peak Analysis & Automation). PAA serves as a comprehensive solution for integrating and controlling diverse laboratory instruments, including microplate readers like the Emax. Through PAA, tasks such as sample loading, measurement, and data analysis can be automated, enabling high-throughput screening and analysis of various assays. This automation not only enhances workflow efficiency but also ensures consistent and reproducible results across experiments. By integrating the Emax reader with PAA, researchers can streamline their experimental workflows, reduce manual errors, and accelerate their research in drug discovery, enzyme kinetics, and other life science applications.
