BMG LABTECH VANTAstar microplate reader

Wednesday, 09 February, 2022 | Supplied by: BMG LABTECH Pty Ltd


BMG LABTECH’s VANTAstar microplate reader was conceived for ease of use and flexibility for a wide range of applications in basic research and life sciences. The compact, multimode microplate reader is equipped with three features to enable effortless detection set-up and improve data quality: enhanced dynamic range (EDR) technology, a rapid full-plate auto-focus and automatic luminescence cross-talk reduction.

The EDR technology grants a dynamic range spanning over eight concentration decades in a single measurement, which should simplify sensitivity settings and make gain adjustments superfluous. With EDR, every plate is automatically read with a setting that provides optimum sensitivity with no manual intervention.

The device incorporates a rapid, full plate auto-focus for both top and bottom reading in all plate formats up to 384 wells. Combined with EDR, this feature makes detection easy; every sample on the microplate is automatically detected with the optimal settings without any action prior to the start of measurement.

Data quality in luminescence assays is often negatively affected by signal cross-talk from neighbouring wells. The cross-talk reduction package automatically reduces non-specific signals reducing data variability, background noise and false positive signals, which should improve data quality.

For full flexibility, the product is equipped with BMG LABTECH’s dual LVF Monochromator system for high wavelength flexibility and good performance in each assay, with filter detection and a UV/vis spectrometer for ultrafast full absorbance spectra. In addition, the reader can be equipped with the company’s Atmospheric Control Unit for physiological cell-based assays and with a reagent dispenser module with up to two injectors, heater and magnetic stirrer plate.
