About the company
BMG LABTECH
BMG LABTECH - The Microplate Reader Company
BMG LABTECH has been committed to providing high quality microplate readers for academic and high-throughput laboratories since 1989, and has earned the reputation of being a technology leader through ongoing innovations and by carefully listening to the needs of the scientific community.
BMG LABTECH has developed the widest range of dedicated, multi-mode, life science, and HTS microplate readers available.
The CLARIOstar® is a multi-mode, high-performance microplate reader with revolutionary monochromator technology. The patent-pending LVF Monochromators™ give the CLARIOstar filter-like performance combined with the flexibility of monochromators.
BMG LABTECH also provides the perfect microplate readers for High-Throughput Screening, assay development, and high-end applications. The PHERAstar® FSX is designed to read multiple detection modes including UV/Vis absorbance spectra, fluorescence intensity, FRET, fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, HTRF, LANCE, DELFIA, AlphaScreen / AlphaLISA, luminescence and BRET in all plate formats up to 3456.
The Omega Series are the only life science microplate readers with Tandem Technology - ultra-fast UV/Vis spectrometer based absorbance and highly sensitive filter-based detection for measuring fluorescence and luminescence. These multi-mode microplate readers are also capable of reading TR-FRET assays such as HTRF and LanthaScreen as well as AlphaTechnology based assays.
