Extract more data from microplate analysis

MOLECULAR Devices’s SoftMax Pro data acquisition software has been updated to smooth the acquisition and analysis of experimental data from microplate readers, especially in regulated environments. SoftMax Pro 6 GxP is said to make it easy to upgrade from previous…

How to read microplates in zero-G

IT MAY be a problem faced by few laboratories, but any that need to cope with microplate readings in situations other than one standard Earth gravity need look no further than BMG Labtech’s Polarstar microplate reader.   Researchers at the University…

Microplate reader measures luminescence, fluorescence, and absorbance

A SECOND-generation microplate reader from Berthold Technologies, the TriStar2, employs a new ‘all-4-one’ optical arrangement which enables luminescence, fluorescence and absorbance measurements with high sensitivity. The reader also handles fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)…

Plate reader includes on-board camera for well imaging

DESCRIBED as an evolution of its first dynamic light scattering (DLS) plate reader, Wyatt Technology’s new DynaPro Plate Reader II includes an onboard camera to take pictures of each microplate well. The new reader has an extended temperature range, from…

Control O2 and CO2 in the microplate reader

FULLY regulated independent control of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) within a microplate reader is the promise made by BMG Labtech’s Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU). Available for the Omega microplate reader range, the microprocessor-controlled ACU offers dual independent control…
