BMG LABTECH has teamed up with Genedata to provide a functionally rich integration between BMG LABTECH’s entire product range of dedicated and multi-mode microplate readers and Genedata Screener®, a data analysis and management platform for in-vitro screening technologies.

“By focusing on the needs of the scientific community, we constantly strive to enhance the usability of our products and to optimise workflows beyond our microplate readers through collaborations with other companies. The Genedata Ready-to-Run integration enables customers to easily import the high-quality results of our readers into a platform that takes data analysis and management in screening facilities to a new level,” says Thomas Räbiger, CEO at BMG LABTECH.

BMG LABTECH’s multi-mode microplate readers PHERAstar® FSX, CLARIOstar® and Omega Series as well as the dedicated SPECTROstar® Nano are part of the Genedata Ready-to-Run program. The readers offer solutions for any screening assay and are used by pharmaceutical companies and academic research institutions all over the world. The microplate readers have earned the reputation of highest sensitivity, speed and precision for life science applications and high-throughput screening purposes.

“A perfectly engineered instrument is only one part of the solution. It needs to be effectively integrated in modern screening laboratories to visualize, analyse and manage data in the same workflow,” explains Andrea Krumm, Application Scientist at BMG LABTECH. The company’s microplate readers come with a powerful software package including control software and the MARS data analysis software, which effectively run the microplate reader and extensively analyse data. “The Genedata Screener® Ready-to-Run program enhances our capabilities as it provides out-of-the-box integrations for complex screening technologies making it the perfect addition to all of our readers, but especially the PHERAstar® FSX, the gold standard microplate reader for high-throughput screening,” explains Krumm. Designed to import data from any screening instrument, Genedata Screener® can handle a range of data from small data sets to extensive experiments with thousands of plates as in ultra-high throughput trials. “The integration with Genedata Screener® helps our customers to reduce data analysis time and minimize efforts by decreasing manual errors and interpretation mistakes. The platform further helps customers to gain a deeper understanding of complex experiments and encourages scientific collaboration through secure data sharing,” says Krumm.

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.

Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

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.

Plate processing systems include microplate handlers for moving plates, heat sealers, stackers and carousels for storage, retrieval and delivery, microplate washers and piercers. Useful features of plate processors include walk-away automation, compatibility and easy integration with microplate systems.AutomationAutomation in laboratories and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency, precision, and scalability by reducing the need for manual intervention. It plays a critical role in improving productivity, minimizing human error, and accelerating workflows in fields like diagnostics, drug development, and industrial testing. Automation technologies include robotic systems, automated liquid handlers, and process control systems that streamline complex tasks and ensure consistent, reproducible results.
