| Description | The SPECTROstar Omega is an absorbance microplate reader capable of recording both a photometric spectrum (220-1000 nm) down to a resolution of 1 nm and absorbance values at fixed user-defined wavelengths. Similar to a monochromator, but much faster, the spectrometer allows you to capture the UV/VisThe SPECTROstar Omega is an absorbance microplate reader capable of recording both a photometric spectrum (220-1000 nm) down to a resolution of 1 nm and absorbance values at fixed user-defined wavelengths. Similar to a monochromator, but much faster, the spectrometer allows you to capture the UV/Vis spectrum of a sample within one second per well - no scanning needed. The speed of the spectrometer and the easy work-up in the software provide users with unmatched flexibility that can be used to optimize absorbance settings for all your experiments.
Spectra can be captured in less than 1 second per well. Combined with precise temperature control, onboard injection, shaking, high reproducibility and a wide dynamic range, the SPECTROstar Omega provides users with unmatched flexibility and sensitivity to perform any absorbance based assay needed.
Due to the absolutely modular concept of the SPECTROstar Omega, it is entirely upgradeable to a multidetection microplate reader at any time. Whenever the need for fluorescence and luminescence based experiments arrives, the SPECTROstar Omega can be upgraded to a FLUOstar Omega or even to the POLARstar Omega with Simultaneous Dual Emission and Fluorescence Polarization detection mode. The optional Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) also offers exceptional gas control features. The microprocessor controlled ACU fully regulates O2 and CO2 within the microplate reader allowing you to select the concentrations that match your required physiological conditions. As the ACU controls CO2 (0 - 20%) and O2 (1 - 19%) independently, it is unnecessary to change gas cylinders or piped gas supplies to adapt to different atmospheric conditions.
