Microplate Reader

BMG Labtech, one of the leading global manufacturers of microplate measurement systems for both basic research and High Throughput Screening (HTS), announces further improvements to its multimode microplate reader Pherastar. These improvements give improved performance of both AlphaScreen and FP assays. In addition to simultaneous dual emission reading in all leading detection modes (F, L, TR-FRET, BRET, FRET and FP) the Pherastar now also has improved AlphaScreen performance with two times faster plate read speed and market leading Z factors. FP specification has also been enhanced and improved. With 1.0 mP SD (at 1 nM fluorescein in 384-well plates) the Pherastar widens the gap even further from the competition. Finally the speed of reading has been increased by up to 50%.
