SPECTROstar Nano

Item#: SPECTROstar-Nano

BMG LABTECH’s innovative absorbance microplate reader has the flexibility to perform assays quickly and easily in both microplates or via the built-in cuvette port. This spectrometer-based absorbance microplate reader captures a full UV/visible spectrum in less than 1 sec/well. Its speed, simple push button operation, and capacity to store individual assay protocols make the SPECTROstar® Nano the leading microplate reader for absorbance measurements.

  • Optional Accessories
  • LVis Plate

    Sample capacity: sixteen separate microdrop wells for 2 µL samples; one standard cuvette position for up to 1 mL samples.
    Quality control internal standards (optional): four NIST traceable optical density filters (approximate values of 0.1, 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0 OD); one holmium oxide filter for wavelength accuracy.
    Dimensions: conforms to SBS standards for microplates.

  • THERMOstar

    Microplate incubator and shaker

The SPECTROstar Nano is equipped with BMG LABTECH’s ultra-fast UV/vis spectrometer, which allows users to measure full-spectrum absorbance (220 – 1000 nm) in less than 1 second per well. It is the ideal instrument to read all absorbance assays in a microplate or cuvette – with many common assay protocols predefined and available at the click of the mouse.

Features

  • High-speed absorbance measurements
  • Measurements in up to 1536-well plates
  • Integrated cuvette port
  • LVis Plate compatibility
  • Incubation up to 45 °C
  • Multiple shaking options
  • Well scanning with up to 900 data points per well
