BMG LABTECH offers the OPTIMA line of microplate readers and the SPECTROstar Nano absorbance cuvette / microplate reader for research applications. Due to the modular concept of the OPTIMA series, the readers can be upgraded to include additional features and detection modes when the need arrives. The SPECTROstar Nano with an ultra-fast UV/Vis absorbance spectrometer can not only read microplates but is also capable of reading cuvettes.
