Case Study: American Heritage School achieves advanced student research success with Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5e reader

American Heritage School advances student research and wins science competitions with Molecular Devices

American Heritage School sought to provide its students with the tools to conduct high-level scientific research during its first Annual Summer Science Program. The challenge was enabling advanced work with GFP-labeled C. elegans and Alcanivorax borkumensis, along with assays like the Bradford assay, which required sophisticated equipment.

Molecular Devices provided a SpectraMax M5e Multi-Mode Microplate Reader as the solution. This allowed students to perform their research, which directly led to them winning school and county science competitions and qualifying for state competition. The students presented their findings at prestigious forums, including the Florida Junior Academy of Sciences and the Junior Science Engineering and Humanities Symposium, demonstrating the significant impact of the Molecular Devices technology.
