The CLARIOstar Plus is a multi-mode microplate reader with advanced LVF Monochromators™, highly sensitive filters, and an ultra-fast UV/vis spectrometer. The Enhanced Dynamic Range and automatic focus technologies make manual settings superfluous and detection optimisation easier than ever. 

Atmospheric Control Unit, temperature incubation, multiple shaking, well scan and reagent injectors make the CLARIOstar Plus the ideal platform for any live cell-based assay.

Key Features

  • Innovative monochromators for increased sensitivity
  • Fully-flexible wavelengths and bandwidths
  • Spectral scanning in ABS, FI and LUM
  • Largest dynamic range with no manual intervention
  • Rapid full-plate autofocus
  • Dedicated features for live cell-based assays 
  • Ultra-fast data sampling (100 measurements/second)
  • Dedicated laser for Alpha Technology
  • Easily integrated into automated systems

BMGLABTECH

Our history begins in 1990, as the physicist Dr. Bela Gurath founded BMG LABTECH in Offenburg, Germany. The first three years were affected by defining the strategic orientation of the company. In this year’s, further shareholders joined, among others Dr. Thomas Räbiger who is leading the company today. The team quickly realised that they should develop their own products and set the sights on becoming “the microplate reader company” on the market.
