FLUOstar Optima

POLARstar Optima FLUOstar Omega POLARstar Omega LUMIstar Omega

POLARstar OPTIMA - high-performance multidetection plate reader with 4 detection modes

Fluorescence Polarisation

Fluorescence Intensity - including FRET and multilable applications
Time-Resolved Fluorescence - including DELFIA®
Absorbance - UV/Vis with path length correction
High-Performance Luminescence (flash and glow) - including BRET, DLReadyTMcertified

The POLARstar OPTIMA multidetection microplate reader offers all the features of the FLUOstar OPTIMA plus fluorescence polarization and a unique simultaneous dual emission detection system, which allows the detection of two emitted wavelengths at the same time. Simultaneous Dual Emission Detection is especially useful for FRET, TR-FRET, BRET and Fluorescence Polarization assays since the plate only has to be read once, and when compared to other microplate readers, gives increased throughput, improved sensitivity and lower %CVs - no other reader in this price range offers simultaneous dual emission.

The POLARstar OPTIMA supports all the applications of the FLUOstar OPTIMA. Furthermore this microplate reader offers a fantastic speed and accuracy advantage in FRET, BRET, and FP assays used in:

molecular binding detection

receptor studies (e.g.GPCR)
cAMP detection using FP
protein/protein interaction
kinase profiling using a competitive FP immunoassay
SNP Genotyping using FP
Caspase assays using FRET-based biosensor protein
