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.
Accessories- Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU): provides the ideal environment for cell-based assays by regulating O2 and CO2 gas levels in the microplate reader
- Filters: standard filters from 240 - 850 nm, filters optimised for specific applications, and bespoke solutions are available
- LVis Plate: microplate for low-volume DNA, RNA and protein quantification. It includes 16 micro-drop (2 µL) wells, a cuvette slot and optional performance testing features
- Evaluation Plate: validates the optical functionality of BMG LABTECH microplate readers for quality control and/or qualification (IQ/OQ) purposes

As well as filters and a UV/Vis spectrometer, this reader also features advanced LVF Monochromators™ - BMG LABTECH’s proprietary monochromator technology which uses linear variable filters to significantly increase performance over conventional monochromators.
Continuously adjustable bandwidths (8 to 100 nm) and the use of a linear variable dichroic mirror also provide unbeatable flexibility.
Features: - Innovative monochromators for increased sensitivity
- Fully-flexible wavelengths and bandwidths
- Spectral scanning in ABS, FI and LUM
- Largest dynamic range with no manual intervention
- Rapid full-plate autofocus
- Dedicated features for live cell-based assays
- Ultra-fast data sampling (100 measurements/second)
- Dedicated laser for Alpha Technology
The Enhanced Dynamic Range and automatic focus technologies make manual settings superfluous and detection optimization easier than ever.
The result is the most sensitive and most flexible monochromator-based reader on the market. A high performance microplate reader that does not compromise on sensitivity, flexibility or speed in any assay or application.

Read More | 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, 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....
