Like all good things, Analytica 2012 has
come and gone. Similarly to previous shows, Analytica 2012 was a great venue
for BMG LABTECH,
The Microplate Reader
Company. Providing one of the most common analytical life science
instruments to laboratories, BMG LABTECH was able to showcase its unique
technology to many different researchers.
If you missed BMG LABTECH at Analytica 2012,
you probably also missed the new and exciting microplate reader technology on
display, which includes:
-
The only microplate readers
with ultra-fast, full spectrum (220-1000 nm) absorbance analysis for chemical
or biological samples;
- The only microplate readers
with dual gas regulation using an Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) for cell-based
assay assays or for inducing disease states such as hypoxia; and
- The only laser-based
light-scattering microplate reader, the NEPHELOstar Plus, which is ideal for determining compound solubility or for
bacterial/fungal/cellular growth assays.
BMG LABTECH's unique microplate reader
technology was also showcased at a well-attended Biotech Forum presentation by
Dr. E.J. Dell. He discussed how to use BMG LABTECH's unique ultra-fast, UV/Vis spectrometer in a microplate reader,
highlighting how all absorbance assays such as DNA, RNA, and ELISA can all be
improved with this unique technology.
The unique UV-Vis spectrometer technology
was further showcased at two posters, one measured the conversion of the
cofactor NADH (Detection of NADH and NADPH with the Omega´s High Speed, Full
UV/Vis) and the second measured the metallation of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP)
with zinc (Ultra-Fast, UV/Vis Spectrum Analysis Optimizes Chemical Reactions on
a Microplate Reader). A copy of Dr Dell's presentation, as well as the poster
presentations, can be requested at
