Using a spectrometer, this new absorbance microplate reader captures a full UV-Visible spectrum (220 to 1000 nm) in less than 1 sec/well and measures sample volumes down to 2 µL. The speed of the spectrometer, simple push button operation, and the capacity to design and save individual assay protocols give users an unmatched flexibility to optimize settings for all absorbance experiments.
The SPECTROstar Nano is delivered with a new version of BMG LABTECH s established Reader Control software and comprehensive Data Analysis Software, MARS. With its simple to use 'Quick Run' feature it reads ELISAs, RNA, DNA, Protein (Bradford, BCA, Lowry), Cell growth, and Beta-galactosidase assays at the touch of a button due to predefined protocols. This highly intuitive software also provides limitless possibilities for test set up where it is needed. In MARS, a wizard guides the user through the entire data analysing process. Additionally, a template manager can be used for building complex data processing protocols. Improved robotic integration capabilities, digital signature and FDA 21 CFR part 11 compliance of MARS complete this powerful software package.

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
- And much more....

Atmospheric Control for Live Cell Assays
The Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) module enables independent, simultaneous control of both O2 and CO2 within the microplate reader chamber. Ranging from standard cell growth assays to cytotoxicity assays, the ACU provides the optimal environment for any live cell-based assay. Injectors can be combined with a software-controlled heater and magnetic stirrer, enabling reagent mix and dispensing from a bottle or beaker at a specific temperature.
