BMG LABTECH Announces Ultra-Fast, Full Spectrum Absorbance Microplate Reader

The new SPECTROstar Nano from BMG LABTECH is an ultra-fast, full spectrum absorbance microplate reader with a cuvette port and is perfect for all absorbance assays. Its rapid full spectrum analysis at a resolution of 1 nm allows for absorbance assays never before possible on a microplate reader.

Using an ultrafast absorbance spectrometer, it can capture a full UV-Visible spectrum from 220 nm to 1000 nm in less than 1 sec/well and measure sample volumes down to 2 µL. Use the built-in cuvette port for kinetic studies and quick experiments and measure all standard microplate formats up to 1536 wells. The SPECTROstar Nano allows for single push button operation for basic commands, as well as specific assay protocol set up.Ultrafast, full spectrum analysis, multimode shaking, incubation, kinetic readings, well scanning, automated path length correction and a gas vent are only a few of the outstanding features that the SPECTROstar Nano has to offer.

The most common absorbance assays such as ELISAs, DNA, RNA, Protein (Bradford, BCA, Lowry), cell growth, and beta-galactosidase can be performed with ease due to predefined protocols.
