In Hamburg, Germany on May 30-31
st
BMG LABTECH, the Microplate Reader Company, will showcase its newest technology
at ELA 2012. Stop by Booth #120 to see unique and proprietary microplate reader
technology that separates BMG LABTECH from the rest. BMG LABTECH features not
found on any other instrument, include: ultra-fast,
full spectrum (220-1000 nm) absorbance analysis for chemical or biological
samples; laser-based, light-scattering nephelometery for measuring compound
solubility; Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) for optimizing cell-based assay
experiments or for inducing disease states such as hypoxia; and Direct Optic
Bottom reading for unmatched signal-to-noise ratios in all fluorescent protein
assays such as GFP, YFP and mCherry.
BMG
LABTECH will also highlight their microplate readers in several application
posters. One poster, presented in conjunction with Pharma Diagnostics, will
show how the SoPRano
TM label-free technology is easily executed on a
BMG LABTECH spectrometer-based microplate reader. When proteins bind to the
SoPRano
TM Gold-Nano Rods, there is a shift in the ODlmax. This ODlmax shift is easily
monitored with a BMG LABTECH spectrometer-based instrument, which can capture a
full spectrum in less than one second per well. This allows protein-protein
interactions to be readily monitored with this system. Another poster, in
conjunction with BellBrook Laboratories, describes the generic Transcreener
®
FP assay platform that can be used to measure a diverse set of enzymes in an
HTS format, including Methyltransferase, Acetyltransferase, Kinases, ATPases,
and GTPases. These robust and highly reproducible assays were performed on the
PHERAstar
Plus HTS instrument using
Simultaneous Dual Emission (SDE) detection. Simultaneous Dual Emission
Detection substantially reduces plate read times and it corrects for any signal
variations due to differences in well volumes, concentrations, or fluctuations
in excitation energy.
