Receive a free absorbance microplate reader from BMG LABTECH for your ideas

The SPECTROstar Nano is an absorbance microplate reader and BMG LABTECH is giving away five of these instruments for your ideas. Its proprietary ultra-fast UV-Vis spectrometer instantaneously captures a full spectrum in microplates, cuvettes and low volumes samples. It will redefine the most common absorbance assays such as ELISAs, DNA, RNA, protein (Bradford, BCA, Lowry), cell growth, and beta-galactosidase, while expanding your laboratory’s capability with different sample formats.

For your chance to receive one of five free SPECTROstar Nanos, just submit a short 2-4 page research proposal on how your laboratory would use the SPECTROstar Nano. Proposals will be evaluated based upon uniqueness of research.

Tell BMG LABTECH how you would use the instrument in a unique way and/or use one of its many features, such as: full UV/Vis spectrum per well, gas vent for atmospheric control, 1536 well plate reading capability, incubation and shaking, reference corrections to existing assays to improve data, cuvette and plate kinetic capability, BMG LATECH’s low volume LVis Plate, robotic interface mode or one of the other outstanding features that the SPECTROstar Nano offers.

Winners will also be chosen by probability of success and thoroughness of the individual proposals.

BMG LABTECH showcase the SPECTROstar Nano at LabAutomation 2011

Instantaneously capture a full UV/Vis spectrum (220–1000 nm) in low volume samples, microplates and cuvettes with the new SPECTROstar Nano.

Ultra-fast full spectrum analysis, multimode shaking, incubation, kinetic readings, well scanning, automated path length correction, a gas vent and robot compatibility are only a few of the outstanding features that BMG LABTECH's SPECTROstar Nano has to offer.

BMG LABTECH is also offering two workshops at this meeting. For more information and pre-registration, visit www.bmglabtech.com/labauto.

Monday, January 31 (12:30 – 2:00 pm) Intelligent Screening through a Unique Combination of Instrumentation and Software, presented with Hudson Robotics Using Model Kinases

Tuesday, February 1 (12:30 – 2:00 pm) Quantitative Cell-Based Screening Assays Using the Next Generation HTS Microplate Reader

Product award for FLUOstar Omega

BMG LABTECH's FLUOstar Omega multimode microplate reader has received the award for Drug Discovery Product of the Year 2010. This was an independent user's choice award voted by the international scientific community via Select Science.

Using BMG LABTECH's Tandem Technology, it has been acknowledged as a microplate reader for a wide range of applications in basic research, life science studies, and assay development. Fluorescence Intensity, UV/Vis full spectrum absorbance, luminescence, AlphaTechnology, and TRF (TR-FRET) detection technologies, can all be read by the FLUOstar Omega with ease and superior performance.
