The FLUOstar® Omega is a multi-mode microplate reader with three detection modes. It utilises an ultra-fast UV/vis spectrometer or filters for absorbance as well as highly sensitive filters for all other detection modes. The FLUOstar Omega is the ideal plate reader for life science applications.
The FLUOstar Omega is a versatile multi-mode microplate reader with three detection modes: fluorescence intensity (including FRET and TRF), luminescence (including BRET) and UV/vis absorbance.
