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.

Nephelometric Monitoring Growth of Candida albicans Using BMG LABTECH’s NEPHELOstar
08 Apr 2010: Laser nephelometry has been shown to be a reliable technique for the measurement of drug solubility in 96-well plate format. In this application note the effects of complexation on drug antimycotic activity is described. Laser nephelometry can distinguish between the concentration at which the drug just goes into or just comes out of solution. This is presented in phase solubility studies.

FRET-Based Screening for Potential Modulators of G Protein/GoLoco Interaction
17 Nov 2009: A CFP-YFP FRET based assay was utilized to screen for potential inhibitors of the G protein/GoLoco interaction. Inhibitors of that interaction are putative pharmacological tools. The POLARstar Omega proved to be a reliable and robust instrument to perform these FRET based measurements. With the MARS Data Analysis Software, the FRET ratio and Z’ value are automatically calculated providing fast and efficient evaluation.
