BMG Labtech PHERAstar FS Multi-Mode Microplate Reader with Stacker III Automation
Product Description
The BMG Labtech PHERAstar FS is an advanced multi-mode microplate reader optimized for high-throughput screening and diverse assay applications in biomedical and biotechnology research. This model features fluorescence intensity (FI), fluorescence polarization (FP), AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA, luminescence (LUM), time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), and UV/Vis absorbance detection modes, supporting microplates from 6 to 1536 wells, enabling flexible assay formats.
Key technical specifications include:
- Spectral detection range:
- FI, FP, LUM: 230–750 nm
- TRF: 230–900 nm
- Absorbance: 220–1000 nm
- Light sources: High-energy Xenon flash lamp, nitrogen laser, solid-state laser for AlphaScreen
- Optics: Supports up to 5 interchangeable optic modules with filter-based detection for optimal sensitivity
- Microplate formats: Compatible with 6, 24, 48, 96, 384, up to 1536 well plates
- Incubation capability: Temperature control from ambient +5 °C to 45 °C, essential for enzyme kinetics and live-cell assays
- Shaking modes: Linear, orbital, and double-orbital shaking with programmable time and speed settings
- Automation: Equipped with a Stacker III microplate stacker holding up to 50 plates, facilitating unattended screening workflows
- Onboard reagent injectors: Two injectors provide 3 to 350 µL injection volumes per well for kinetic and real-time assays
- Software & connectivity: Comes with computer and applicable control software enabling integration in automated bioprocessing pipelines
This reader is widely adopted in molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology, and biopharmaceutical development for applications such as enzyme activity assays, drug screening, AlphaLISA assays, and fluorescence-based cellular assays. Its broad detection modes and automation capabilities make it critical for bioprocessing research, including kinetic studies and compound screening.
The instrument undergoes rigorous quality control with validated performance tests for all detection modes and automation functions, ensuring reliable operation upon delivery. Ideal for biotechnology laboratories requiring efficient, multi-parametric microplate analysis with automated plate handling and incubation control.
This pre-owned system includes the PHERAstar FS Reader, Stacker III with double magazines, optical filters (upon inquiry), computer with software, and all necessary power and communication cables.
