SelectScience Best Drug Discovery Product 2010, the FLUOstar Omega is a multimode microplate reader with five detection modes. It utilizes an ultra-fast UV/Vis spectrometer or filters for absorbance as well as highly sensitive filters for all other detection modes. The FLUOstar Omega is the ideal plate reader for life science applications.
The FLUOstar Omega is a versatile multi-mode microplate reader for five detection modes: fluorescence intensity (including FRET), luminescence (including BRET), UV/Vis absorbance, time-resolved fluorescence (including TR-FRET), and AlphaScreen®/AlphaLISA®. For cell-based applications, the optional Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) makes O2 and CO2 gas control possible.
