The Next Generation Multi-Mode HTS Microplate Reader
7 Oct 2012
In this video E.J. Dell, International Marketing Manager at BMG LABTECH, discusses some of the key features of the highly successful PHERAstar FS microplate reader including its multiple detection modes and numerous excitation sources. E.J. tells SelectScience about its applications in cell-based screening assays, laser-based AlphaScreen®, HTRF and more recently the analysis of label-free SoPRano™ assays. Some of the unique features such as the UV laser for TR-FRET measurements and the direct optic bottom reading are also discussed. Interview filmed at MipTec 2012 by SelectScience.
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.
