The Microplate Reader Specialists

BMG LABTECH offers the most complete line of microplate readers available. These innovative plate readers have been designed to provide you with comprehensive solutions for life science, drug discovery, assay development and academic research. Many of BMG LABTECH's innovative microplate readers are also carry DLReady certification from Promega, are LanthaScreen™ certified plus from Invitrogen and carry the HTRF® compatible logo from Cisbio International.

Multidetection Microplate Readers

BMG LABTECH’s broad line of multidetection microplate readers offers an immense range of measurement possibilities. The Omega series of microplate readers represent the world’s first multimode plate readers capable of capturing a full UV/Vis absorbance spectrum (220 – 850 nm) at a fantastic resolution of 1 nm. The FLUOstar OPTIMA, one of the most popular multidetection plate readers in the world, can be used for fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance measurements and for fluorescence polarization when upgraded to a POLARstar OPTIMA. The NOVOstar is the only multimode reader with an integrated pipetting system – the perfect instrument for monitoring fast kinetic reactions such as intracellular calcium flux or enzymatic turnover. The PHERAstar Plus is the world’s fastest and most flexible multimode microplate plate reader for high-throughput screening applications with five photomultiplier tubes and simultaneous dual emission detection in all measurement modes.

Dedicated Microplate Readers

For very special applications, BMG LABTECH offers dedicated plate readers, such as the NEPHELOstar, RUBYstar and LUMIstar OPTIMA. The NEPHELOstar, the only laser-based microplate nephelometer, is used for solubility testing of compounds as well as for detection of bacterial growth. The RUBYstar is a dedicated plate reader for HTRF®, one of the most powerful high-throughput screening methods, and the LUMIstar OPTIMA is a high-performance plate reader for luminescence based assays.

Microplate Reader Specialists

Since the introduction of the first microplate fluorometer in 1993, BMG LABTECH has continued to develop and improve the sensitivity of plate readers to handle the increasingly challenging requirements of popular microplate assays. All of our plate readers are produced in Germany and are of the highest quality machines of their type available. BMG LABTECH’s worldwide sales, service, and support network is staffed by fully trained personnel who can supply exceptional technical support where and when you need it.

BMG LABTECH’s Applications Center

BMG LABTECH’s plate readers are used in literally thousands of different applications. Many applications using fluorescence, fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, time-resolved FRET, luminescence, absorbance, nephelometry and AlphaScreen™ are described in application notes which can be downloaded from the applciations center on our web site: www.bmglabtech.com. Furthermore, you can find many applications performed on our plate readers in numerous scientific publications written by satisfied customers.
