Description
The VANTAstar™ is a compact microplate reader conceived for ease-of-use and flexibility. This multi-mode reader provides the perfect detection platform for a wide range of applications in basic research and life sciences. The combination of BMG LABTECH´s patented dual LVF Monochromator™ system, UV/vis absorbance spectrometer and filters ensures full wavelength flexibility. In addition, the Enhanced Dynamic Range (EDR) technology combined with a fast full-plate auto-focus significantly improves usability and enables an effortless detection setup.
Features: - Innovative LVF Monochromators for flexibility and performance
- Fully-flexible wavelengths and bandwidths
- Spectral scanning in ABS, FI and LUM
- No manual gain or focus adjustment required
- One click top/bottom reading switch for all detection modes
- Dedicated features for live cell-based assays
- Compact size
- Reagent dispenser module with heather and magnetic stirrer
Atmospheric Control for Live Cell Assays The Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) module enables independent, simultaneous control of both O
2 and CO
2 within the microplate reader chamber. Ranging from standard cell growth assays to cytotoxicity assays, the ACU provides the optimal environment for any live cell-based assay. Injectors can be combined with a software-controlled heater and magnetic stirrer, enabling reagent mix and dispensing from a bottle or beaker at a specific temperature.
Accessories - Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU): provides the ideal environment for cell-based assays by regulating O2 and CO2 gas levels in the microplate reader
- Filters and Optic Modules: standard filters from 240 - 850 nm, filters and Optic Modules optimised for specific applications, and bespoke solutions are available
- LVis Plate: microplate for low-volume DNA, RNA and protein quantification. It includes 16 micro-drop (2 µL) wells, a cuvette slot and optional performance testing features
- Evaluation Plate: validates the optical functionality of BMG LABTECH microplate readers for quality control and/or qualification (IQ/OQ) purposes
