Omega Microplate Reader Series
Modular Upgradeable Microplate Readers with Tandem Technology
 The Omega Series is the world's only multidetection microplate reader series with Tandem Technology utilizing ultra-sensitive filter based detection in all detection modes and high-speed UV/Vis spectrometer based absorbance. The innovative Omega microplate readers are capable of capturing an absorbance spectrum (220 - 850 nm) at a resolution of 1 nm. Read times faster than 1 second per well are possible.
Advanced Assay Technology Package for the
FLUOstar and POLARstar Omega:
- High-end TRF optical reading head gives fantastic
performance
advantage for all time-resolved fluorescence applications
- Specialized AlphaScreen® mode provides the Omega readers
with AlphaScreen® performance that rivals any HTS reader
The FLUOstar and POLARstar Omega microplate readers can now read even more demanding assays such as HTRF®, LanthaScreenTM and AlphaScreen®. The POLARstar Omega has also received Transcreener® validation from Bellbrook Labs for 96-well format. With HTRF®and DLReadyTM certification as well as LanthaScreenTM certified plus status, BMG LABTECH’s Omega microplate readers are the perfect solution for all your microplate based applications.
In addition, the Omega microplate reader series offers a number of outstanding features known from the successful OPTIMA series, such as a dedicated luminescence detection system, top and bottom microplate reading, multi-color detection, well scanning, sixteen filter positions, expanded temperature control up to 60°C, plate shaking, and gas vent connection. The Omega microplate readers can read microplate formats up to 1536-well plates and onboard ‘smart’ injectors can be used to initiate kinetics and produce dilution schemes and concentration gradients across the microplate.
The Omega microplate reader series is made up of four models, for more information click on the products below:
BMG LABTECH’s standardized reader footprint and robotic software interface make it easy to integrate the Omega reader into all robotic automation systems. For rapid mid-throughput plate handling, the Stacker, with 50 microplate capacity and an integrated barcode reader, can be added to any Omega microplate reader.
The Omega series of microplate readers are delivered with a new version of BMG LABTECH’s established Omega Reader Control software and comprehensive Data Analysis Software, MARS. The highly intuitive software provides limitless possibilities for test set up where it is needed, but also offers a “Quick-Start” mode for running routine analysis with just 3 mouse clicks. 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 21 CFR part 11 compliance of MARS complete this new software package.
In order to run BMG LABTECH instruments, you also need a personal computer with WindowsTM operating system (7/Vista/Win 2000/XP). Easy export to MS ExcelTM 2007/2003/2000/XP is possible. |
