Product news

The Omega series, including the FLUOstar Omega and POLARstar Omega, is the world's only microplate reader line with Tandem Technology utilizing high-speed UV/Vis spectrometer based absorbance and ultra-sensitive filter based detection in all measurement modes.

These multidetection microplate readers are capable of reading absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization and time-resolved fluorescence. Combined with a high intensity xenon flash lamp, assay optimized filters and adjustable gain, the Omega series outperforms any microplate reader in the mid-range market.

The FLUOstar Omega and POLARstar Omega now include an Advanced Assay Technology Package for even more demanding applications including AlphaScreen® and TR-FRET assays such as HTRF® and LanthaScreenTM. With HTRF® certification, LanthaScreenTM Certified Plus status and DLReadyTM certification, BMG LABTECH's innovative Omega Series is the perfect solution for all your microplate based applications.

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.

Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
