VANTAstar
The VANTAstar is an upgradable multi-mode microplate reader compatible with all plate formats up to 384 wells. The Enhanced Dynamic Range (EDR) technology, a fast full-plate auto-focus, and luminescence cross-talk reduction make assay detection easier than ever and manual optimization superfluous.
With its Atmospheric Control Unit for gas control, temperature incubation, multiple shaking options, well scan and reagent injectors with heater and stirrer, the VANTAstar supports all live cell-based assays. The VANTAstar is also available with only filter-based detection. Check here more details about the VANTAstar F.
The VANTAstar comes now with Voyager, BMG LABTECH´s new microplate reader control interface. Designed to remove complexity while maximising flexibility, Voyager makes data acquisition more intuitive than ever.
The VANTAstar is for research use only.
