Great instrument invaluable to our work flows.
Small Molecule Solubility analysis
The Nephelostar is an important part of our workflow for SPR. All compounds are tested for solubility in selected assay buffers before being run through SPR. The Nephelostar has been invaluable in determining whether compounds are soluble/insoluble and hence whether they are suitable for SPR analysis. The Nephelostar is easy to use and quickly gives an indication of the solubility of small molecules.

The best plate reader and the impeccable after-sales care = BMG
Microalgae and macroalgae cultivation
The Nephelostar plate reader is very effective for my application (follow the growth or biomass estimation of filamentous macroalgae). Once the different parameters are chosen (quite easily than to the very user-friendly interface) your results were really nice and more importantly very reproducible. Honestly, it is so easy to use, probably the best plate reader I ever worked with. That plus the impeccable after-sales care from BMG makes it the perfect tool for my experimentation. In the future, if I could purchase other items/readers from BMG, I would do so without hesitation.

The NEPHELOstar® Plus
The world’s only laser-based microplate nephelometer
The NEPHELOstar® Plus is BMG LABTECH’s unique light-scattering plate reader. Using forward scattered light, it can measure the solubility or turbidity of a sample in a solution.
NEPHELOstar® Plus Features:
- High-throughput detection compatible with up to 384-well plates
- Increased performance and speed compared to other nephelometers
- Two onboard reagent injectors
The NEPHELOstar® Plus is ideal for applications which include petroleum process control, drug compound solubility, bacterial growth, and precipitation of particles in a solution.
BMG LABTECH’s Atmospheric Control Unit can be added to ensure a proper environmental control within the plate reader. CO2 and O2 can be fully regulated independently.
Accessories
- Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU): provides the ideal environment for cell-based assays by regulating O2 and CO2 gas levels in the microplate reader
- Microplate Stacker: optimises microplate handling and increases throughput by providing rapid loading, unloading, restacking, and continuous feeding for up to 50 microplates
