ROS detection in a cell-based format using the Promega ROS-Glo™ assay
There are many ways to monitor ROS generation. But few are as simple, fast, and sensitive as performing Promega’s ROS-GloTM assay on BMG LABTECH’s microplate readers.
VANTAstar
Flexible microplate reader with simplified workflows
The VANTAstar® is the latest addition to our family. This compact multi-mode microplate reader was conceived for ease-of-use and flexibility and ensures effortless detection setup for a simplified data generation. Equipped with our patented dual LVF Monochromators™ system, filters, UV/vis spectrometer, and Enhanced Dynamic Range technology, it can cover a wide range of applications in basic research and life science.
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.
