Dedicated Luminescence Microplate Reader

The LUMIstar^® Omega is BMG LABTECH's powerful dedicated luminescence microplate reader, providing highly sensitive flash and glow assay readings. This DLReady-certified microplate reader can also come equipped with Simultaneous Dual Emission for BRET applications, and can be further upgraded to a multi-mode reader.

The high performance, dedicated luminescence microplate reader.

Details

The LUMIstar Omega is a dedicated reader for luminescence measurements, including BRET. The LUMIstar Omega provides highly sensitive readings of all luminescence applications in end-point and kinetic assays. Moreover, a built-in filter wheel and the optional Simultaneous Dual Emission detection make multiple wavelength detection and BRET applications possible.
