Great results, absolutely essential for my research
Circadian time courses
I have used the Clariostar plate reader for over 4 years now and it is great, it has so many functions and is very reliable! Can highly recommend and have never used a better plate reader. And the customer service is fantastic, whenever I have any questions I get immediate and professional help (thanks a lot @Devon Legge!).

Fundamental instrument in our lab and great customer support
Measure cell viability via luminescence assays or protein concentration using fluorescence
Great product, easy-to-use instrument and software, simple setup of protocols, and export data. High reproducibility among replicates. I was pleased by the fast costumer support, follow up via phone call in less than 24h from when I initially filled in the contact form. Additional information provided by email in a timely manner after the phone call. This instrument has been running for more than 5 years. Good value for money.

Very flexible plate reader, ideal for assay development
Investigation of cell signaling
I am using the clariostar plus plate reader for luminescence-, fluorescence-, FRET- and BRET-based assays. The plate readers shows a very good performance in all these modes and the user-friendly, intuitive control surface facilitates the fast setup of new experiments. The analysis software MARS enables a fast analysis and export of the raw data. What would improve the performance of the plate reader in dual-color assays (FRET & BRET), is the design of a filter cube that would allow for the simultaneous detection of both channels (as feasible with, e.g., the Neo2 plate from BioTek).

The CLARIOstar® Plus is the most-sensitive monochromator-based microplate reader.. This high-performance multi-mode microplate reader from BMG LABTECH is equipped with revolutionary LVF MonochromatorsTM, spectrometer, and filters. Patented LVF Monochromators™ include cutting-edge technology, such as linear variable filters and a linear variable dichroic mirror. These provide the highest flexibility while delivering filter-like performance for fluorescence and luminescence assays including FRET and BRET. There is no compromise when it comes to sensitivity and flexibility, making the CLARIOstar Plus the leading microplate reader in its class. The Enhanced Dynamic Range and autofocus technologies significantly improve usability, making manual settings superfluous and detection optimisation easier than ever.
Features of the CLARIOstar Plus multi-mode microplate reader include:
- LVF Monochromators™ with continuously adjustable bandwidths from 8 to 100 nm allow more light for excitation and emission, resulting in greater sensitivity
- Largest dynamic range with no manual intervention - Rapid full-plate autofocus
- Increased flexibility with dedicated detectors
- Top and bottom reading for fluorescence and luminescence assays using monochromators or filters
- Combine filters and monochromators in the same measurement for higher flexibility in any fluorescence or luminescence assay
- High-speed, full spectrum UV/vis absorbance (220 to 1000 nm in < 1 second per well)
- Advanced detection modes: fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, TR-FRET and AlphaScreen®
- Dedicated, high-energy laser for AlphaScreen® and AlphaLISA® assays
- Dedicated features for live cell-based assays including Atmospheric Control Unit
- Ultra-fast data sampling (100 measurements/second) for fast kinetics
The Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) allows independent, simultaneous control of both O2 and CO2 within the microplate reader chamber. Ranging from standard cell growth assays to cytotoxicity assays, the ACU provides the optimal environment for any live cell-based assay. As a unique function, the CLARIOstar Plus with ACU can run gas ramps and mimic pathological conditions such as ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia in vitro.
Accessories
- Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU): provides the ideal environment for cell-based assays by regulating O2 and CO2 gas levels in the microplate reader
- Filters and Optic Modules: standard filters from 240 - 850 nm, filters and Optic Modules optimised for specific applications, and bespoke solutions are available
- Microplate Stacker: optimises microplate handling and increases throughput by providing rapid loading, unloading, restacking, and continuous feeding for up to 50 microplates
- LVis Plate: microplate for low-volume DNA, RNA and protein quantification. It includes 16 micro-drop (2 µL) wells, a cuvette slot and optional performance testing features
- Evaluation Plate: validates the optical functionality of BMG LABTECH microplate readers for quality control and/or qualification (IQ/OQ) purposes
