BMG LABTECH to Launch its New Absorbance Microplate Reader, the SPECTROstar Nano at Elrig Drug Discovery 2010
25 Aug 2010: Visit BMG Labtech to learn more about the new absorbance microplate reader SPECTROstar Nano. Using a spectrometer, it captures a full UV-Visible spectrum (220 nm to 1000 nm) in less than 1 sec/well and measures sample volumes down to 2 µL. The SPECTROstar Nano also allows for single push button operation for basic commands, as well as specific assay protocol set up. BMG LABTECH
