Product news

BMG LABTECH will showcase its latest innovation, the PHERAstar FS. This multidetection HTS microplate reader incorporates the following new features: Tandem Technology, which uses highly sensitive, filter based detection in all modes and an industry first, ultra-fast UV/Vis Spectrometer; on-board reagent injectors for precise kinetic measurements; advanced bottom reading for cell-based assays; and a dedicated UV-laser for all TR-FRET/HTRFO®based assays as well as a red laser for high-end AlphaScreen®. Stop by our booth B47 and see BMG LABTECH’s broad line of microplate readers offering an immense range of measurement possibilities.

The Omega series of microplate readers represent the world’s first multidetection plate readers capable of capturing a full UV/Vis absorbance spectrum (220 – 850 nm) at a fantastic resolution of 1 nm.

For very special applications, BMG LABTECH offers dedicated plate readers, such as the NEPHELOstar and SPECTROstar Omega. The NEPHELOstar, the only laser-based microplate nephelometer, is used for solubility testing of compounds as well as for detection of flocculation studies and bacterial growth. The SPECTROstar Omega is an absorbance microplate reader for ELISA and much more. It is also fully upgradeable to a multidetection microplate reader including reagent injectors and Tandem Technology.

BMG LABTECH’s multidetection microplate readers come with the well-known Reader Control and the Data Analysis Software, MARS. The MARS Wizard creates an easy step-by-step calculation of a standard curve and the MARS Template Manager is an excellent tool for building complex data processing protocols. Thus, user-defined data analysis is one mouse click away. Enhanced robotic integration capabilities, digital signature, and the FDA 21 CFR part 11 compliance of MARS complete this software package.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
