Building a bridge between organoid research and drug discovery
Elad Katz founder of Navigate Precision Biology established a 384-well based organoid platform and runs his assays with the PHERAstar.
Gene reporter assays
Gene reporter assays are sensitive and specific tools to study the regulation of gene expression. Learn about the different options available, their uses, and the benefits of running these types of assays on microplate readers.

Testimonials
"Most common absorbance-, luminescence- and fluorescence-based assays are able to be run without having to hunt high and low"
"We need to get consistent, high-quality data regardless of location […] for that reason, we chose the PHERAstar FSX"
"The PHERAstar is a very high-end instrument which is very good for high-throughput screening and is the most sensitive instrument I have tested for BRET."
"The CLARIOstar shows a fantastic performance with fluorescence, luminescence and UV measurements […] We are therefore very satisfied with this device and we strongly recommend it"
"The CLARIOstar microplate reader is essential to all the research we do […] Just love it!"
