Homogeneous Assay For Protein Detection
BMG Omega Plate reader with injectors are used in our laboratory for protein detection which can be done in 45 minutes at room temperature incubation as an alternative to traditional ELISA. They are cheaper than SpectraMax L and has the option of saving data in excel format or as a text file. One can measure the peak area or the slope for quantification of proteins. I would highly recommend the use of BMG plate readers for homogeneous assays.

LUMIstar Omega - Flexible Luminometer for Measuring Flash and Glow Luminescence
The LUMIstar Omega is a compact and modular microplate luminescence reader that is designed for the widest possible range of applications based on luminescence labels including BRET assays. The LUMIstar Omega is also DLReady™ certified from Promega.
Additional outstanding features of the LUMIstar Omega include top and bottom reading, incubation up to 45°C or 65°C, up to two “smart” reagent injectors, gas vent connection for atmosphere exchange inside the reader and well-established Reader Control and powerful MARS Data Analysis Software.
The LUMIstar Omega also offers the most flexible gas control system available in a microplate reader. The microprocessor controlled ACU (Atmospheric Control Unit), in combination with the Omega’s other features such as temperature control (up to 65°C) and shaking (orbital, double orbital and linear), can reproduce most physiological conditions making cell-based assays more biologically relevant. Independent O2 and CO2 regulation, together with continuous monitoring, provides a walk away assay solution for extended cell based experiments and much more.
Applications:
- Luciferase reporter gene assays, ß-galactosidase, gene activities with luminescence substrates (e.g. luminol, acridinium esters, dioxetanes, etc.)
- Luminescent immunoassays
- Cell-based assays (e.g. cytotoxity, apoptosis and proliferation)
- Intracellular Ca2+ with aequorin
- Ion channel, GPCR screening
- ATP assays
- GUS assays (ß-glucuronidase)
- ROS (reactive oxygen species)
- Enzyme activity assays
- Nucleic acid detection (PCR quantification)
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
- Evaluation Plate: validates the optical functionality of BMG LABTECH microplate readers for quality control and/or qualification (IQ/OQ) purposes

Microplate Readers Application Note Binder
A book of application notes for all assay needs, using BMG LabTech Microplate Readers. This collection showcases the specific capabilities of the different models from the range of BMG LabTech Microplate Readers available.
Monitoring Intracellular Ca2+ Fluxes with CloneticsTM Primary Sensors using the LUMIstar Omega
The LUMIstar Omega plate reader from BMG LABTECH combined with HUVEC calcium biosensor - provided in a ready-to-use frozen state, can generate pharmacologically relevant data on ligands of cell surface receptors. This application highlighted here demonstrates four different classes of G-protein coupled receptors in dose-dependent manners for two plate formats.
A Fast and Simple Method For Measuring P-Glycoprotein (Pgp) Inhibition
This application note reports on a novel assay specific for measuring inhibition of the P-glycoprotein multidrug transporter. The assay can be used with 96 well or 384 well microplates, it has a low sample requirement and an IC50 determination can be produced within 10 minutes. The system provides a rapid, sensitive and specific reconstituted Pgp liposome assay for identification of compounds that interact with the transporter. Pgp expression has been linked to the efflux of chemotherapeutic drugs in human cancers leading to multidrug resistance.
