Microplate Reader Accessories

This very small volume allows for quick quantification of nucleic acid and protein samples without dilution, saving time and valuable sample. For added utility, standard cuvettes or the patented BioCell™ can also be used for quick 1 cm measurements, while the ultimate versatility of measuring both absorbance and fluorescence can be accomplished using Take3 or Take3 Trio in a Synergy™ Hybrid or multi-mode reader. Pre-programmed nucleic acid and protein protocols in Gen5™ make quantification fast and easy.

Features:
• 16 (Take3) or 48 (Take3 Trio) microspots for 2 µl samples
• 2 BioCell measurement locations
• Standard cuvette measurement (Take3)
• Absorbance and fluorescence measurement capability
• Pre-programmead nucleic acid and protein quantification protocols in Gen5 Take3 interface
• Spectral scanning in micro-volume, BioCells or cuvettes
• Easy to clean, low maintenance sample surfaces

The Stacker is a modular attachment that can be used with BMG LABTECH microplate readers to increase throughput. The Stacker can automatically feed 50 plates for great improvements in speed and automation, and has "continuous load" feature. The optional bar code reader is designed to read bar codes from several positions on the microplate.

Software package

The Control Software operates the Stacker / reader combination: the Stacker is controlled via a serial interface and the reader is controlled via a DDE or ActiveX interface. The definition of the measurement protocol as well as the configuration of the reader is done by using the Reader Control Software. You define the batch operation, e.g. the test name and number of plates.

BMG LABTECH's Stacker allows users to concentrate on running assays and not on managing plates.
