Multimode Microplate Readers

CLARIOstar – High Performance Microplate Reader with Monochromators, Spectrometer, and Filters
The CLARIOstar allows for increased sensitivity over conventional monochromators with continually adjustable bandwidths from 8 to 100 nm and an integrated fluorophore library for easy wavelength selection. BMG LABTECH’s newest instrument is the most advanced monochromator on the market and is capable of readingfluorescence intensity, FRET, fluorescence polarization, luminescence, BRET, UV/Vis absorbance, time-resolved fluorescence, and Alpha Technology.

 

 

 

PHERAstar Series - Next-Generation HTS Microplate Readers
The PHERAstar FS and PHERAstar Plus HTS microplate readers are designed to read multiple detection modes including UV/Vis absorbance spectra, fluorescence intensity, FRET, fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, HTRF®, LANCE®, DELFIA®, AlphaScreen® / AlphaLISA®, luminescence and BRET in all plate formats up to 3456. The PHERAstar FS multimode microplate reader even incorporates Tandem Technology.

Omega Series - Microplate Readers with Tandem Technology
BMG LABTECH's FLUOstar and POLARstar Omega microplate readers incorporate UV/Vis spectrometer based absorbance with ultra sensitive filter based detection in additional detection modes including fluorescence intensity, FRET, time-resolved fluorescence, TR-FRET, AlphaScreen® / AlphaLISA® and luminescence, BRET. The POLARstar Omega microplate reader even has additional fluorescence polarization and simultaneous dual emission detection. Equipped with BMG LABTECH´s unique Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU), the Omega series represent the perfect solution for all cell-based long term assays where environmental control is a must.

NOVOstar - Microplate Reader for Cell-based Kinetic Assays
The NOVOstar is a compact multimode microplate reader offering five detection modes and a unique dual microplate carrier which accommodates one reagent plate and one sample plate. This microplate reader comes with an integrated pipettor system for automated assembly and instantaneous reading of assays in microplate formats up to 384-well. 

OPTIMA Series - Multimode Microplate Readers
The FLUOstar OPTIMA and POLARstar OPTIMA are filter based multi-mode microplate readers designed for a wide range of applications in academic and pharmaceutical research. These microplate readers come with four or five detection modes including fluorescence intensity, time-resolved fluorescence, luminescence, absorbance and fluorescence polarization.

 

Absorbance Microplate Readers

SPECTROstar Nano - Absorbance Microplate Reader for Microplates, Cuvettes and Low Volume Measurements
The SPECTROstar Nano absorbance microplate reader uses an ultra-fast spectrometer that instantaneously captures a full UV-Visible spectrum (220 nm to 1000 nm) in < 1 sec/well. All plate formats up to 1536-wells can be read as well as low volume samples down to 2 µL. This microplate reader also offers an integrated cuvette port for rapid, full spectrum analysis of individual samples. Quick run protocols and one-click data analysis exist for assays such as ELISAs, DNA, Bradford, Lowry, etc. Additional features include multimode shaking, incubation, well scanning, a gas vent and robotic friendly integration.  

 

Luminescence Microplate Readers

LUMIstar OPTIMA - Luminescence Microplate Reader
The LUMIstar OPTIMA luminescence microplate reader provides ultra high sensitive reading of flash and glow luminescence assays in end-point, kinetic and multiple wavelength mode. It is also DLReady^TM certified and can be upgraded to a multidetection microplate reader at any time.

LUMIstar Omega - Upgradeable Microplate Reader for Luminescence
The LUMIstar Omega is the DLReady^TM certified microplate reader for luminescence. This unique luminescence microplate reader is fully upgradeable to a multimode microplate reader including additional detection modes and a UV/Vis absorbance spectrometer.

 

Nephelometry Microplate Reader

NEPHELOstar Plus- Laser-Based Microplate Nephelometer for Measuring Light-Scattering
The NEPHELOstar Plus is a new laser-based nephelometer that measures light-scattering. It is perfect for measuring compound solubility and bacterial/fungal/cellular growth in a microplate.

Based on light-scattering principals, the NEPHELOstar Plus has a greater dynamic range than absorbance instruments that measure the same assays using turbidity. New accessories such as the ACU, which independently controls both CO2 and O2 inside of the reader, ensure optimal conditions for cell growth assays performed on the NEPHELOstar Plus.
