Affordable, versatile kinetic and end point absorbance measurements for beginners and high and research alike
undergraduate practical lab courses
We are teaching hundreds of undergrad students per semester in basic biochemical lab techniques. For them we were looking for an affordable and versatile option to measure microtiter plate absorbances. We now have 6 of the SPECTROstar nano with integrates cuvette option and they are all we were hoping for. Affordable: best prize on the market and the offer was extended over the two year period we needed to raise the money for the last three instruments. Easy to use: after only one or two measurements the students use them on their own – and correctly! Additionally, research groups in the house will borrow the instruments as soon as the student courses are done to do their research experiments. Service: in the beginning we had some issues with the software programming and the technical support was always there to help within 24h. They did not send standard emails but really took us seriously and answered our questions – so the problems were resolved very quickly.

Versatile, easy to use microplate reader with excellent support
Teaching basic lab skills student courses
We needed an affordable, easy to use but versatile microplate reader for our basic lab skills practical courses. This instrument has it all. One star less for ease of use, because we hoped to find an instrument with on-board computer; but a simple laptop fits nicely on the machine and can be set up for any purpose necessary. Support by the company was and continues to be excellent. User-problems are taken serious and answered in a timely, friendly, and very constructive manner.

Instantly capture full spectra (220-1000 nm in <1 second!) for low volumes, microplates and cuvettes with the SPECTROstar® Nano from BMG LABTECH.
The SPECTROstar® Nano from BMG is a revolutionary microplate reader for absorbance measurements. The flexibility it provides makes it easy to perform low-volume absorbance assays at speeds like no other absorbance-only reader on the market.
- Low-volume samples with the BMG LABTECH LVis Plate (2 μL)
- Ultra-fast spectrometer to read 220 to 1000 nm in less than 1 second per well
- Compatible with all microplate formats up to 1536-well
- Also contains a standard cuvette port for individual samples
- Multi-mode shaking: linear, orbital, and double orbital
Predefined protocols also make it possible to read ELISAs, RNA, DNA, protein, cell growth and more simply at the touch of a button.
Accessories
- LVis Plate: microplate for low-volume DNA, RNA and protein quantification. It includes 16 micro-drop (2 µL) wells, a cuvette slot and optional performance testing features
- Evaluation Plate: validates the optical functionality of BMG LABTECH microplate readers for quality control and/or qualification (IQ/OQ) purposes
