To address its need for a new absorbance microplate reader for teaching and in its labs, researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington applied for BMG Labtech's Spectrostar Nano competition.
The professors have no been announced the second winners of a Spectrostar Nano from BMG Labtech.
Combining its ideas into one proposal helped to mitigate the risk of submitting just one idea and it also helped to show how six different laboratories can use one instrument for a myriad of applications.
Fast, full-spectrum measurements will redefine the most common absorbance assays such as ELISAs, DNA, RNA, Protein (Bradford, BCA, Lowry), cell growth and beta-galactosidase.
Features include: full UV/Vis spectrum per well, gas vent for atmospheric control, 1,536-well-plate reading capability, incubation and shaking, reference corrections to improve data, cuvette and plate kinetics, BMG Labtech's low-volume LVis Plate, or robotic interface mode.
