We have been using BMG Labtech plate readers for around 15 years now in my laboratory. We initially started with a PHERAstar Plus, but have since moved to buying two of the more flexible CLARIOStar Plus instruments to support a wide range of microtitre plate applications with greater ease (the LVF monochromator design is great!). We have been so pleased with the performance of BMG plate readers over time - they are extremely reliable and the customer support received by the BMG team is absolutely fantastic. My lab serves around 350 different scientists a year (my lab is a centralised core facility for an entire research Institute) and so reliability, flexibility and user-friendliness of the BMG equipment and software as well as excellent customer support is absolutely key. I can say that BMG excels at all.

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.

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 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.

Great product, very advanced settings and possibilities. Far more functions than usual plate reader. Sometimes a bit complicated because of the amount of functions.
