SPECTROstar Omega

Absorbance plate reader with ultrafast UV/vis spectrometer

The SPECTROstar® Omega is a dedicated absorbance microplate reader that can capture a full absorbance spectrum (220 – 1000 nm) in less than 1 second per well – no scanning needed. This upgradeable reader offers the highest flexibility for optimizing settings for all absorbance-based assays. The LVis Plate compatibility allows for low-volume sample measurements.
