BMG Labtech GmbH products

The Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) for the CLARIOstar Plus, Omega series and NEPHELOstar Plus is the ideal solution for live cell-based applications, from standard cell growth to hypoxic assays or pH control. The ACU provides a complete solution to fully and independently regulate both O2 and CO2 gas levels within the microplate reader chamber. From standard proliferation to hypoxic or cytotoxicity assays, the ACU provides the optimal environment for any live cell assay.

The intended use of the Evaluation Plate is the validation of the optical functionality of BMG LABTECH microplate readers for quality control and/or qualification (IQ/OQ) purposes in environments following GLP compliance. The plate is compatible with all BMG LABTECH readers listed below and is designed to simplify fluorescence intensity, luminescence and absorbance qualification tests, saving time and avoiding the use of liquid standards.

Our filters are made of multilayer substrates on which film coatings with different refractive indices are applied. Generally, our filters can range from 240 nm to 850 nm in 10 nm increments and typically have a blocking power of six optical density (OD) units, or 999,999 parts in one million. A filter is hence capable of blocking undesired stray light down to 0.0001%.

BMG LABTECH’s proprietary LVis Plate is a low-volume microplate that incorporates a cuvette slot and optional performance testing features.

The PHERAstar FSX is our most sensitive multi-mode reader for high-throughput screening, combining this sensitivity with fast read times. Thanks to the unique Optic Module system, Simultaneous Dual Emission, UV/vis spectrometer, and dedicated AlphaScreen and TRF lasers, the PHERAstar FSX will perform your assay with ease and speed, even in 3456-well microplates.

The new CLARIOstar^® Plus is the latest addition to our family. Our most flexible multi-mode plate reader comes equipped with our patented LVF Monochromators™, filters, and spectrometer. Flexibility combined with the best sensitivity of its class, and our newly developed Enhanced Dynamic Range technology, make it the ideal reader for assay development.

The FLUOstar Omega is a multi-mode microplate reader with six detection modes. It utilizes an ultra-fast UV/vis spectrometer or filters for absorbance as well as highly sensitive filters for all other detection modes. The FLUOstar Omega is the ideal plate reader for life science applications.

The LUMIstar Omega is BMG LABTECH`s powerful dedicated luminescence microplate reader, providing highly sensitive flash and glow assay readings. This DLReady-certified microplate reader can also come equipped with Simultaneous Dual Emission for BRET applications, and can be further upgraded to a multi-mode reader.

Microplate nephelometer for light-scattering and turbidity measurements. The world’s first and only laser-based microplate nephelometer was developed to meet high-throughput demands for fast compound solubility screens. The NEPHELOstar® Plus detects insoluble particles in liquid samples by measuring forward scattered light and can be used for turbidity measurements, drug solubility screening, protein binding kinetics, microbial growth, and petroleum process control.
