SPECTROstar OMEGA
Product Details
Ultra-fast UV/Vis spectrum absorbance spectrometer - upgradeable to a multi-mode microtiter plate reader
The SPECTROstar® Omega is a dedicated absorbance microplate reader that can capture a full absorbance spectrum (220 - 1000 nm) in less than 1 second per well – no scanning needed. This upgradeable reader offers the highest flexibility for optimizing settings for all absorbance-based assays. The LVis Plate compatibility allows for low volume sample measurements.
The ultra-fast, dedicated absorbance microplate reader.
Details
The SPECTROstar Omega is a dedicated absorbance microplate reader that can capture either a full-absorbance spectrum or up to eight discrete wavelengths simultaneously. Upgrades can transform SPECTROstar Omega into a powerful multi-mode reader with up to six detection modes, Simultaneous Dual Emission, injectors, and an Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU)Features

- Measurement in up to 1536-well microplate format
- Plate shaking and uniform incubation up to 45 °C or 65 °C
- Well-scanning and real-time kinetic monitoring
- High-precision injectors with simultaneous reagent injection and detection
- Includes multi-user control and MARS data analysis software
- Compatible with LVis Plate for low volume samples (down to 2µl)
- ACU and stacker compatible
