BMG Labtech PHERAstar FS Multi-mode Microplate Reader with Stacker III Automation System
Product Description
The BMG Labtech PHERAstar FS is a high-performance multi-mode microplate reader designed for advanced fluorescence, luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), absorbance, and AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA assays. Integrated with an automated Microplate Stacker III system, it supports formats ranging from 6 to 1536 wells, providing flexibility for varied experimental throughput demands essential in biotechnology research, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical screening workflows.
Key technical features include:
- Detection modes: Fluorescence Intensity (FI), Fluorescence Polarization (FP), AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA, Luminescence, Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF), and UV/Vis Absorbance
- Spectral range:
- 230–750 nm for FI, FP, Luminescence
- 230–900 nm for TRF
- 220–1000 nm for Absorbance measurements
- Supports up to five optic modules with customizable optical filter sets tailored to various assay requirements
- Light sources include a high-energy Xenon Flash Lamp, Nitrogen Laser, and solid-state laser optimized for AlphaScreen assays
- Precise temperature controlled incubation from ambient +5 °C to 45 °C promotes consistent biological assay environments
- Multiple shaking options (linear, orbital, double-orbital) with user-defined parameters enable robust mixing for kinetic and enzyme activity studies
- Automatic Z-axis adjustment with curve monitoring ensures optimal optical performance and signal sensitivity
- Dual onboard reagent injectors with injection volumes from 3 to 350 µL per well facilitate real-time kinetic assays and bioprocessing applications
- Robotic compatibility through the Microplate Stacker III supports continuous high-throughput screening, including plate magazines holding up to 50 microplates
- Compatible with industry-standard microplate formats (6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96-, 384-, 1536-well), critical for synthetic biology, gene editing assays, and biomedical engineering applications
This microplate reader is widely used in molecular biology labs, drug discovery pipelines, and biomanufacturing processes, offering precise multiplex detection essential for fluorescence analysis, bioassay development, and live-cell fluorescence workflows. The system is fully serviced, tested for optimal performance with fluorescence, luminescence, absorbance, AlphaLISA, and TRF test plates, and calibrated to OEM specifications ensuring reliability for demanding research environments.
Automation via the integrated stacker and the ability to accommodate extensive optical configurations make the PHERAstar FS an ideal choice for applications requiring high throughput and multiplex assay formats, such as molecular cloning workflows, biomedical diagnostics, and neuroimaging assay development.
Included components:
- PHERAstar FS Microplate Reader
- Microplate Stacker III with dual stack magazines
- Optical filters (inventory varies, filter sets available upon inquiry)
- Computer workstation with applicable vendor software
- Communication and power cabling
The instrument is backed by warranty, remote instrument setup, and operational training, accompanied by after-sales technical support tailored to research laboratories and industrial bioprocessing facilities. Shipping includes professional packing with ISPM15-certified crates ensuring secure global delivery for both academic and commercial biotechnology users.
This multi-functional microplate reader platform is critical in enhancing assay throughput, accuracy, and reproducibility across diverse research domains including molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biopharmaceutical production workflows.
