BMG LABTECH unveiled the world's first series of multi-detection microplate readers incorporating a UV/Vis spectrometer for absorbance measurements, the Omega series.
The spectrometer incorporates a highly-efficient optical grating and a solid state array detector that allows the measurement of light intensity throughout the UV and visible parts of the spectrum. Similar to a monochromator, but much faster, the spectrometer captures the entire UV/Vis spectrum of a sample within one second per well, no scanning needed.
