To satisfy the ever-increasing demands of the HTS community, a new version of the Pherastar microplate reader is available from BMG Labtech - the Pherastar Plus
The Pherastar Plus features advanced HTRFO / TR-Fret, advanced luminescence, and advanced fluorescence polarisation reading modes by integrating the latest technological advancements in optics and electronics.
Coupled with the new powerful data analysis software package Mars, these new features extend the application versatility of the Pherastar Plus.
The Pherastar Plus is a simultaneous dual emission HTS microplate reader offering all leading detection technologies including fluorescence intensity / Fret, fluorescence polarisation, time-resolved fluorescence / TR-Fret, laser-based AlphaScreen, luminescence / Bret, and UV/vis absorbance.
The new instrument provides both enhanced HTRFO performance with Z' and TR-fret ratio performance and a fourfold increase in luminescence sensitivity.
This is made possible by BMG Labtech's innovations in the modular optical system combined with the unique well-proven detection technology.
The Pherastar Plus is the only microplate reader on the market with five photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) and simultaneous dual emission (SDE) technology optimised for specific reading modes and the capability to capture TR-Fret decay curves in real-time for assay optimization.
The Pherastar Plus will be delivered with a new version of BMG Labtech's established Reader Control and a completely new Mars data analysis software with significant ease-of-use enhancements such as S/N, Z', and many other standard calculations.
The wizard creates an easy step-by-step calculation of a standard curve and the template manager is a tool for building complex data processing protocols.
Thus, user-defined data analysis is done simply with one click of the mouse.
Improved robotic integration capabilities, digital signature and the 21 CFR part 11 compliance of Mars complete this new software.
