PHERAstar Plus — The Flagship for HTS
Based on the highly successful HTS microplate reader
PHERAstar, the PHERAstar Plus offers full
modularity in all modes and features Advanced HTRF®
/ TR-FRET, Advanced Luminescence and Advanced
Fluorescence Polarization reading modes by integrating
the latest technological advancements in optics and
electronics. The PHERAstar Plus is the premier
multidetection HTS microplate reader with Simultaneous
Dual Emission (SDE) detection in all modes. No matter
what reading technology you use in your laboratory, the
PHERAstar Plus will provide you with the best
sensitivity and the fastest reading speed on the market.
The compact and versatile PHERAstar Plus
microplate reader is able to perform all leading
non-isotopic detection technologies including:
The PHERAstar Plus is the ONLY HTS microplate
reader on the market with five photomultiplier tubes (PMTs)
optimized and automatically selected for specific
reading modes. This ensures that your assay is read with
highest sensitivity, a feature that no other microplate
reader offers.
Due to the unique modular optical system, sequential
dual excitation, simultaneous dual emission, and
ratiometric calculations, such as for FRET and BRET, the
PHERAstar Plus performs all assays with ease and
speed. BMG LABTECH offers assay optimized and barcoded
optic modules for your applications with appropriate
filters, mirrors, beamsplitters, dichroics or polarizers
incorporated into one hand-held module. Once inserted,
the PHERAstar Plus automatically selects the
proper module for your assay protocol. Never worry about
what dichroic, aperture, or filter is installed in your
microplate reader.
The PHERAstar Plus provides superior sensitivity,
speed and dynamic range. Not only does it support
endpoint readings, but is also capable of kinetic
measurements and well scanning with better control and
flexibility than competing readers.
No detection mode is compromised to accommodate the
multifunctionality of the PHERAstar Plus. The
PHERAstar Plus can read 6-1536 well plates with
uncompromised sensitivity, - no need for special
apertures or optics. Assay flexibility is further
enhanced by precise temperature control to 45°C as well
as multi-mode shaking capabilities. Automatic Z-height,
gain adjustment, and plate mapping as well as the
ability to export data in ASCII format complete the
package.
The Stacker is designed for integration with the
PHERAstar Plus minimizing microplate handling. It
provides loading, unloading, restacking and continous
feeding of up to 50 microplates.
The PHERAstar Plus comes with a new version of BMG
Labtech's established Reader Control and a completely
new MARS data analysis software with signifient
ease-of-use enhancements such as S/N, Z' and many other
standard calculations. The wizard creates an easy
step-by-step calculation of a standard curve and the
Template Manager is an excellent tool for building
complex data processing protocols. Thus, user-defined
data analysis is done simply with one click of the
mouse. Improved robotic integration capabilities,
digital signature and the 21 CFR part 11 compliance of
MARS complete this new software.
With the PHERAstar Plus, BMG LABTECH offers a
unique combination of features to support all major
existing applications as well as your future needs.
