BMG Labtech is offering customers the opportunity to win one of five free Spectrostar Nano absorbance microplate readers.
Each Spectrostar Nano reader includes an ultra-fast spectrometer to instantaneously capture a full UV/Vis spectrum in microplates, cuvettes and low-volume samples.
Fast, full-spectrum measurements will redefine the most common absorbance assays such as Elisas, DNA, RNA, protein (Bradford, BCA and Lowry), cell growth and beta-galactosidase.
Entrants must submit two- to four-page proposals on how their laboratories would use the readers by 15 March to qualify.
The instrument features: a full UV/Vis spectrum per well; a gas vent for atmospheric control; a 1,536-well plate-reading capability; incubation and shaking; reference corrections to improve data, cuvette and plate kinetics; a low-volume LVis Plate; and a robotic interface mode.
