The LUMIstar® Omega is BMG LABTECH's powerful dedicated luminescence microplate reader, providing highly sensitive flash and glow assay readings.
This DLReady-certified microplate reader can also come equipped with Simultaneous Dual Emission for BRET applications, and can be further upgraded to a multi-mode reader.
- Detection Modes: Luminescence (flash and glow) - incl. BRET
- Measurement Modes: Top and bottom reading - Endpoint and kinetic - Sequential multi emission - Simultaneous Dual Emission - Ratiometric measurements
- Microplate Formats: 6 to 384-well plates, user-definable
- Microplate Carrier: Robot compatible
- Detectors: Low noise photomultiplier tube
- Wavelength Selection: Optical filters
- Optical Filters: Emission filter wheel for 8 filters
- Optical Path Guides: Top: liquid-filled light guides - Bottom: fiber optics
- Spectral Range: Filters 240 - 740 nm for LUM
- Sensitivity: LUM < 20 amol/well ATP
- Read Times: 16 s (96), 47 s (384)
- Reagent Injection
- Up to 2 built-in reagent injectors
- Injection at measurement position (6 to 384-well)
- Individual injection volumes for each well (3 to 500 µL)
- Variable injection speed up to 420 µL / s
