Introducing BMG LABTECH’s new OMEGA family of microplate readers
20 Mar 2007Product news
The world’s first multifunctional readers capable of capturing a full absorbance spectrum (200 – 850 nm) in less than 1 second per well, at a resolution of 1 nm.
This new family of readers also offers fluorescence, luminescence and reagent injection for kinetic based assays. The OMEGA with full spectrum absorbance provides users with unmatched flexibility and sensitivity to perform any assay needed. Leave absorbance filters and monochromators behind!

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. 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.
