BMG FLUOstar Galaxy

Four to Five measurement principles for the wide range of applications

The Galaxy models are fully automated microplate based multi-detection readers which incorporates four to five different measurement principles:
 
  • Fluorescence                               
  • Fluorescence Intensity                                  
  • Time-Resolved Fluorescence
  • Polarization                                  
  • Luminescence                                   
  • Absorbance
     

            Ca2+ Measurements (e.g. Ca2+ Flux with Fura-2 or Indo-1)
            Enzyme Activity
            Cell Toxicity, Proliferation and Viability
            ATP Quantification
            Immunoassays


By integrating a high intensity xenon flash lamp and liquid light guide technology, the Galaxy can cover the wavelength range from 250 to 740 nm in Absorbance. The Galaxy can read plate formats of 96-well plates in all measurement modes. Top-to-bottom readings.
 

 
 

Incubation

Temperature-regulated heating plates above and below the entire plate movement area provide uniform incubation up to 45°C.

Endpoint, slow and fast kinetic measurements

Kinetic applications can be defined, with interval times from 100 ms to several hours. In addition, there is the possibility to measure where it is important in a kinetic study.


Multi-color detection

The fast filter wheels and the ability to define up to 8 sets of filter, each with individual gain and measurement timing parameters, allow analysis of multiple fluorophores in a single well (FRET, dual-emission, DNA-detection).
