LUMIstar Omega - Dedicated high performance microplate
luminometer upgradeable to powerful multidetection
reader with spectrometer
The dedicated DLReady® certified microplate
luminometer LUMIstar Omega provides highly sensitive
reading of flash and glow luminescence assays and
versatility through onboard "smart" injectors, a
built-in filter wheel, shaking, incubation up to 60°C,
as well as a gas vent connection to support all major
types of cell based assays. For BRET applications, even
Simultaneous Dual Emission detection is possible. Part
of the Omega microplate reader series, the LUMIstar
Omega also has these outstanding features:
Features:
Optimized for kinetic measurements: Onboard "smart"
injectors and versatile kinetic software features:
Kinetic events can be conveniently initiated using
integrated "smart" injectors, which allow simultaneous
reagent injection and detection. The compact and open
design of the LUMIstar Omega microplate luminometer
enables the user to save expensive reagents due to low
dead volume and to check the priming process. Injection
speed and timing is fully adjustable within the control
software. Up to four different volumes, between 5 and
350 µL can be delivered in 0.5 µL increments to each
well. The injectors can deliver agonists, substrates,
enzymes - even cells, for advanced microplate assays.
When monitoring a fast calcium signal kinetic, data can
be collected as quickly as 50 reading points per second.
For glow reactions, you can choose plate-mode and to
have longer kinetic times or you can choose endpoint
glow luminescence runs.
Color discrimination assays
The LUMIstar Omega luminometer can read at distinct
wavelengths (needed for e.g. BRET and ChromaGlo") using
up to eight different optical luminescence filters.
These filters are built into a filter wheel, which
minimizes filter switching time.
Upgradable to multidetection microplate reader with
spectrometer
Whenever the need for fluorescence and absorbance based
experiments arrive, have the LUMIstar Omega microplate
luminometer upgraded to a FLUOstar Omega multidetection
microplate reader. If the need for Simultaneous Dual
Emission or Fluorescence Polarization arises, have the
LUMIstar Omega upgraded to the POLARstar Omega. Both of
these Omega multi-detection microplate readers are
capable of capturing an absorbance spectrum (220 - 850
nm) at a resolution of 1 nm. Read times faster than 1
second per well are possible.
