Enhancements to BMG Labtech's Pherastar multimode microplate reader result in better performance of both AlphaScreen and fluorescence polarisation (FP) assays.
The enhancements to the Pherastar microplate reader result in better performance of both AlphaScreen and fluorescence polarisation (FP) assays.
In addition to simultaneous dual emission reading in all leading detection modes (fluorescence, luminescence, TR-Fret, Bret, Fret and FP), the Pherastar now also shows high-end AlphaScreen performance with four times faster plate read speed and market leading Z' factors for AlphaScreen assays.
The Pherastar's FP specification has also been enhanced, now showing 1.0mP SD (at 1nM fluorescein in 384-well plates); thus widening the gap even further from the competition.
Finally, the speed of reading in FP mode has been increased by up to 50%.
No matter what type of assay you run, BMG says the Pherastar offers the speed and flexibility that you would expect from a world leading multimode microplate reader.
