Product description

Multi-mode microplate reader with fluorescence, luminescence, absorbance, high-speed UV/Vis, injection, and incubation features.

BMG LABTECH's FLUOstar Omega is a versatile multi-mode microplate reader designed to meet the diverse needs of life science research. This instrument offers multiple detection modes, including fluorescence intensity (with FRET capability), luminescence (including BRET), UV/Vis absorbance, time-resolved fluorescence, TR-FRET, and AlphaScreen®/AlphaLISA®.

Key features include:

Ultra-fast UV/Vis spectrometer: Captures full absorbance spectra from 220 to 1000 nm in less than one second per well, facilitating rapid data acquisition.
Top and bottom reading: Enhances flexibility for various assay types, including cell-based assays.
Incubation up to 65°C: Supports temperature-sensitive assays with precise control.
High-precision injectors: Enable simultaneous reagent injection and detection, crucial for kinetic studies.
Well scanning: Acquires up to 900 data points per well, ideal for non-homogeneous samples.

The FLUOstar Omega is widely utilised in biotechnology, molecular biology, pharmaceutical research, and clinical diagnostics. Its applications encompass gene expression analysis, protein quantification, enzyme kinetics, and cell viability assays.

Commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and biopharmaceutical companies, this microplate reader has been a reliable tool since its introduction in 2010.

BMG LABTECH's commitment to innovation ensures that the FLUOstar Omega remains a valuable asset for researchers seeking precision and versatility in their experimental workflows.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
