ClarioStar is the best plate reader you can have.
Cell based assays
I've used my Clariostar for years, its reliable, low maintainance, an I can establish new assays with such an ease, as I can scan each fluorophore. Its also so easy as I dont have to buy new filters every time I need another flurophore. What I really love about it, is that you can also upgrade with new technologies as Luminescence or Injection, so no need to buy new - which means less waste! Furthermore the support by the field an inhouse application specialists has always been timely and helpful.

Great instrument with a wide range of capabilities, even better service.
Enzyme assays, cell based assays (Calcium flux, viability, caspase mediated apoptosis, drug/receptor assays via HTRF)
The Clariostar is simple to setup, the UI is easy to navigate and customise. It performs well, with excellent reproducibility and very fast read times. Setting up injector protocols can be tricky but the support from BMG Labtech easily overcomes any issues and their expertise and advice in these types of situations is invaluable, so too when troubleshooting is required.

Great plate reader!
ELISA
Great plate reader that we use for all our 96 well plate assays requiring an absorbance or fluorescent read out. Great for everything from growth curves to reading ELISAs. It has a decent absorbance/ fluorescence spectrum and the analysis software is useful and easy to use.

Broad spectrum functionalities plate reader for advanced kinetics etc.
Microplate reading w/ kinetics and temperature gradients
Great product, very advanced settings and possibilities. Far more functions than usual plate reader. Sometimes a bit complicated because of the amount of functions.
