BMG Labtech PHERAstar FS Multi-mode Microplate Reader with TRF & Integrated Microplate Stacker III
Product Description
The BMG Labtech PHERAstar FS Microplate Reader is a versatile, multi-mode detection system designed for automated high-throughput screening and biochemical assay workflows widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics research. Supporting advanced detection modes—including fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, luminescence, and time-resolved fluorescence (TRF)—it enables precise kinetic and enzyme activity measurements essential for bioprocessing and gene editing applications.
Key technical features include:
- Multi-mode detection with up to 5 interchangeable optic modules plus one preinstalled luminescence module, covering spectral ranges from 230 nm to 900 nm depending on filters.
- Detection light sources comprising a high-energy Xenon flash lamp and optional nitrogen laser optimized for sensitive fluorescence and TRF assays.
- Compatibility with versatile microplate formats from 6 wells up to 1536 wells, including 96- and 384-well plates, allowing flexibility across synthetic biology and molecular cloning experiments.
- Integrated incubation control adjustable from ambient +5 °C up to 45 °C with combined linear, orbital, and double-orbital shaking modes to support live-cell assays and enzyme kinetics under controlled temperature and mixing conditions.
- Automated Microplate Stacker III with two-stack capacity holding up to 50 microplates, enhancing workflow automation for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and drug discovery screening.
- Automatic Z-axis adjustment with curve monitoring ensures optimal focus for high-precision fluorescence and luminescence signal acquisition.
This instrument is extensively tested for full functionality, including system initialization, software connectivity, plate carrier positioning, incubation heating, shaking performance, and optical assay sensitivity using standardized test plates.
The PHERAstar FS is widely used in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology research, and biomedical engineering fields where multiplexed fluorescence/luminescence analysis and live-cell compatible incubation are critical. Its robotic stacking and customizable optics make it an essential tool for molecular biology workflows and high-throughput bioprocessing assays.
