Great plate reader!
ELISA
Great plate reader that we use for all our 96 well plate assays requiring an absorbance or fluorescent read out. Great for everything from growth curves to reading ELISAs. It has a decent absorbance/ fluorescence spectrum and the analysis software is useful and easy to use.

Very good product, reliable and easy to use.
Materials Science
I have used the CLARIOstar Plus platereader since 2021 and the overall experience has always been good. I used it to run fluorescence and absorbance assays and it always proved to be reliable and easy to use. When one part of the machine broke, it was repaired in less than one week by the BMG technicians.

Very good and useful instrument
Fluorescence polarization
The instrument design and operation are user friendly. Software usage is self explanatory, but it needs training to master it. Sensitivity and results reproducibility are the best characteristics. It is also easy to do maintenance.

CLARIOstar Plus is an excellent plate reader with accurate measurement to get reproducible data
Luciferase Assays, NanoBRET assays, Fluorescence measurement
I have tested several plate readers but the CLARIOstar Plus is the best for getting accurate reproducible data. It takes a little bit of practice to get in touch with settings but as soon as you know how to use it you have so many options. You can always contact the service and they really take their time to help you with all issues. What I like most is the possibility to adjust and optimize almost all settings for your needs. In many other plate readers you can only measure your sample with a fixed setup.

The CLARIOstar® Plus is the most-sensitive monochromator-based microplate reader.. This high-performance multi-mode microplate reader from BMG LABTECH is equipped with revolutionary LVF MonochromatorsTM, spectrometer, and filters. Patented LVF Monochromators™ include cutting-edge technology, such as linear variable filters and a linear variable dichroic mirror. These provide the highest flexibility while delivering filter-like performance for fluorescence and luminescence assays including FRET and BRET. There is no compromise when it comes to sensitivity and flexibility, making the CLARIOstar Plus the leading microplate reader in its class. The Enhanced Dynamic Range and autofocus technologies significantly improve usability, making manual settings superfluous and detection optimisation easier than ever.
Features of the CLARIOstar Plus multi-mode microplate reader include:
- LVF Monochromators™ with continuously adjustable bandwidths from 8 to 100 nm allow more light for excitation and emission, resulting in greater sensitivity
- Largest dynamic range with no manual intervention - Rapid full-plate autofocus
- Increased flexibility with dedicated detectors
- Top and bottom reading for fluorescence and luminescence assays using monochromators or filters
- Combine filters and monochromators in the same measurement for higher flexibility in any fluorescence or luminescence assay
- High-speed, full spectrum UV/vis absorbance (220 to 1000 nm in < 1 second per well)
- Advanced detection modes: fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, TR-FRET and AlphaScreen®
- Dedicated, high-energy laser for AlphaScreen® and AlphaLISA® assays
- Dedicated features for live cell-based assays including Atmospheric Control Unit
- Ultra-fast data sampling (100 measurements/second) for fast kinetics
The Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) allows independent, simultaneous control of both O2 and CO2 within the microplate reader chamber. Ranging from standard cell growth assays to cytotoxicity assays, the ACU provides the optimal environment for any live cell-based assay. As a unique function, the CLARIOstar Plus with ACU can run gas ramps and mimic pathological conditions such as ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia in vitro.
Accessories
- Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU): provides the ideal environment for cell-based assays by regulating O2 and CO2 gas levels in the microplate reader
- Filters and Optic Modules: standard filters from 240 - 850 nm, filters and Optic Modules optimised for specific applications, and bespoke solutions are available
- Microplate Stacker: optimises microplate handling and increases throughput by providing rapid loading, unloading, restacking, and continuous feeding for up to 50 microplates
- 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
