Omega microplate reader promises more flexibility
New reader series offers extensive upgradeability and the capability to capture a full absorbance spectrum (220-850nm) in one second per well, at a resolution of just 1nm
Microplate reader boasts improved performance
Enhancements to BMG Labtech's Pherastar multimode microplate reader result in better performance of both AlphaScreen and fluorescence polarisation (FP) assays.
They have been recognised in premier peer-reviewed publications to provide high quality data in the life sciences.
The most common detection modes include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarisation, time-resolved fluorescence, and time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-Fret), to study compound solubility, antioxidant capacity, protein-protein binding, nucleic acid concentration, and second messengers such as ATP and cAMP.
Mars works on the Nephelostar, the Optima- and Omega- series of microplate readers as well as the high-end Pherastar multidetection microplate reader.
Compatibility for the NovOstar will be available in April 2008.
The Mars wizard creates an easy step-by-step calculation of a standard curve and the template manager is described as an excellent tool for building complex data processing protocols.
New features include powerful sort and order functionality, averaging of raw and blank corrected data, lock on data trace, automated or user-defined range adjustment, zoom functions, and a curve fitting library to allow fast calculation of EC50, IC50, r2, and CV values.
Mars provides results quick and easy and user-defined data processing is done simply by one click of the mouse.
Digital signature and the 21 CFR part 11 compliance of Mars complete this new software package.
