PHERAstar FS - The Next-Generation HTS Microplate
Reader
The PHERAstar FS is the ultimate multidetection
microplate reader for HTS and assay development,
especially where speed and sensitivity are imperative.
The compact and versatile PHERAstar FS microplate
reader is able to perform all leading non-isotopic
detection technologies. Important features include:
Due to the unique modular optical system, sequential
dual excitation, simultaneous dual emission, and
ratiometric calculations, such as for FRET and BRET, the
PHERAstar FS performs all assays with ease and
speed. BMG LABTECH offers assay optimized and barcoded
optic modules for your applications with appropriate
filters, mirrors, beamsplitters, dichroics or polarizers
incorporated into one hand-held module. Once inserted,
the PHERAstar FS automatically selects the proper
module for your assay protocol. Never worry about what
dichroic, aperture, or filter is installed in your
microplate reader.
No detection mode is compromised to accommodate the
multifunctionality of the PHERAstar FS. The
PHERAstar FS can read 6-1536 well plates with
uncompromised sensitivity, - no need for special
apertures or optics. Assay flexibility is further
enhanced by precise temperature control to 45°C as well
as multi-mode shaking capabilities. Automatic Z-height,
gain adjustment, and plate mapping as well as the
ability to export data in ASCII format complete the
package.
For HTS automation purposes, the PHERAstar FS is easily
integrated into numerous robotic platforms or it can be
equipped with BMG LABTECH's 50 plate Stacker.
The PHERAstar FS comes with a new version of BMG
LABTECH's well established Reader Control and a
completely new MARS Data Analysis Software with
significant ease-of-use enhancements such as S/N, Z' and
many other standard calculations. The Wizard creates an
easy step-by-step calculation of a standard curve and
the Template Manager is an excellent tool for building
complex data processing protocols. Thus, user-defined
data analysis is done simply with one click of the
mouse. Improved robotic integration capabilities,
digital signature and the 21 CFR part 11 compliance of
MARS complete this new software.
The PHERAstar FS has all of the features that one
would expect from the ultimate HTS microplate reader in
order to support nearly any application that you can
imagine. Applications include:
