Like conventional microplate readers, multimode microplate readers detect reaction signals from microtiter plates in order to perform assays such as ELISA, protein detection, and drug screening assays. Unlike conventional plate readers, multimode microplate readers are able to perform two or more forms of detection allowing a single piece of equipment to perform a wider range of assays. This can increase throughput and efficiency, thus saving time and space in the lab. Important things to consider when purchasing a multimode microplate reader are the particular combinations of assays desired, ease of use, ability to add or remove functionality, and the unit price.

Description | The ultimate microplate reader for HTS applications
The PHERAstar® FSX reader performs all leading non-isotopic detection technologies with ease and speed. Unmatched sensitivity and speed in Fluorescence Intensity (FI) and Fluorescence Polarization (FP) makes the PHERAstar® FSX the most The ultimate microplate reader for HTS applications
The PHERAstar® FSX reader performs all leading non-isotopic detection technologies with ease and speed. Unmatched sensitivity and speed in Fluorescence Intensity (FI) and Fluorescence Polarization (FP) makes the PHERAstar® FSX the most sensitive reader today. Moreover, the reader offers an ultrahigh dynamic range in Luminescence enabling a higher flexibility and more precise measurement results.
Simultaneous Dual Emission detection for Alpha Technology The PHERAstar® FSX has Simultaneous Dual Emission detection for AlphaPlex™ increasing throughput significantly by cutting read times in a half.
Next generation TRF Laser To ensure best performance for any assay the PHERAstar® FSX comes with the next generation laser for TRF/TR-FRET. The new TRF laser accomplishes up to 60 flashes per second which increase throughput and precision of measurement in all plate formats.
For HTS automation purposes, the PHERAstar® FSX offers improved robotic integration capabilities, multi-user control and MARS data analysis software with included digital signature and FDA 21 CFR part 11 compliance, and can be equipped with BMG LABTECH's Stacker

Additional outstanding features of the LUMIstar Omega include top and bottom reading, The LUMIstar Omega is a compact and modular DLReadyTM certified microplate luminescence reader that is designed for the widest possible range of applications based on luminescence labels including BRET assays. Additional outstanding features of the LUMIstar Omega include top and bottom reading, incubation up to 45°C or 65°C, up to two reagent injectors, and well-established Reader Control and powerful MARS Data Analysis Software. For BRET applications, even Simultaneous Dual Emission detection is possible. For assays that require special atmospheric conditions, the optional Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) offers fully regulated control of O2 and CO2 within the microplate reader. The microprocessor controlled ACU independently regulates CO2 (0% - 20%) and O2 (1% - 19%) so that any combination can be programmed into the unit making it unnecessary to change gas cylinders or piped gas supplies to reproduce certain physiological conditions needed for cell-based assays.
Features - Microplate reader for luminescence
- Measurement at up to eight distinctive wavelengths
- BRET, optional with Simultaneous Dual Emission Detection
- Up to two reagent injectors
- Reader Control and comprehensive MARS Data Analysis Software
- Upgradeable to FLUOstar Omega and POLARstar Omega with multiple detection modes and UV/Vis spectrometer
