Product news

BMG LABTECH will be showcasing their new microplate reader technology at Analytica 2012, which includes: ultra-fast, full spectrum (220-1000 nm) absorbance analysis for chemical or biological samples; atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) on a life science microplate reader for optimizing cell-based assay experiments or for inducing disease states such as hypoxia; and Direct Optic Bottom reading on the gold-standard HTS microplate reader for unmatched signal-to-noise ratios in all fluorescent protein assays such as GFP, YFP and mCherry.

BMG LABTECH will also be highlighting their microplate reader technology at various other Analytica events. The FLUOstar Omega will be showcased at the first annual Analytica Live Lab. Here researchers can talk to a BMG LABTECH expert about Food and Water Analysis using a microplate reader. Applications such antioxidant testing (ORAC and ABEL assays), food contamination, and toxin detection will be showcased.

On Wednesday, April 18 from 14.30 - 15.00, Dr. E.J. Dell will be presenting a talk on using BMG LABTECH's unique ultra-fast, UV/Vis spectrometer in a microplate reader. Here you can learn how all absorbance assays such as DNA, RNA, and ELISA can be improved with this technology.

Look out for BMG LABTECH's posters which further highlight the use of the UV/Vis Spectrometer in applications such as measuring the conversion of the cofactor NADH and determining metallation of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) with zinc.

BMG LABTECH is also offering Ten Free promotional vouchers to anyone who is interested in a microplate reader or in attending Analytica 2012. Please submit your information via their website to qualify for the voucher.

Visit BMG LABTECH in Hall B1 at booth 306 to learn more.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. 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.

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.
