Atmospheric Control for Microplates
17 Mar 2012
This video highlights the Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU), a new accessory for the Omega series of multifunction microplate readers. Two independent intake valves and a microprocessor control panel allow for optimal atmospheric conditions to be maintained inside the microplate reader chamber. The ACU is ideal for creating an environment for all cell based assays, including stem, tumor, mammalian, bacterial, and yeast cells, as well as for mimicking disease states such as hypoxia or anoxia.

BMG LABTECH
BMG LABTECH - The Microplate Reader Company
BMG LABTECH has been committed to providing high quality microplate readers for academic and high-throughput laboratories since 1989, and has earned the reputation of being a technology leader through ongoing innovations and by carefully listening to the needs of the scientific community.
BMG LABTECH has developed the widest range of dedicated, multi-mode, life science, and HTS microplate readers available.
The CLARIOstar® is a multi-mode, high-performance microplate reader with revolutionary monochromator technology. The patent-pending LVF Monochromators™ give the CLARIOstar filter-like performance combined with the flexibility of monochromators.
BMG LABTECH also provides the perfect microplate readers for High-Throughput Screening, assay development, and high-end applications. The PHERAstar® FSX is designed to read multiple detection modes including UV/Vis absorbance spectra, fluorescence intensity, FRET, fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, HTRF, LANCE, DELFIA, AlphaScreen / AlphaLISA, luminescence and BRET in all plate formats up to 3456.
The Omega Series are the only life science microplate readers with Tandem Technology - ultra-fast UV/Vis spectrometer based absorbance and highly sensitive filter-based detection for measuring fluorescence and luminescence. These multi-mode microplate readers are also capable of reading TR-FRET assays such as HTRF and LanthaScreen as well as AlphaTechnology based assays.
