January 20, 2017 | BMG LABTECH collaborates with Genedata to provide a functionally rich integration between BMG LABTCH’s entire product range of dedicated and multi-mode microplate readers and Genedata Screener, a data analysis and management platform for in-vitro screening technologies. “By focusing on the needs of the scientific community, we constantly strive to enhance the usability of our products and to optimize workflows beyond our microplate readers through collaborations with other companies,” writes Thomas Räbiger, CEO at BMG LABTECH.

BMG LABTECH’s multi-mode microplate readers PHERAstar FSX, CLARIOstar and Omega Series, as well as the dedicated SPECTROstar Nano are part of the Genedata Ready-to-Run program. The readers offer solutions for any screening assay and are used by leading pharmaceutical companies and academic research institutions all over the world. The microplate readers have earned the reputation of highest sensitivity, speed and precision for life science applications and high-throughput screening purposes.

“A perfectly engineered instrument is only one part of the solution. It needs to be effectively integrated in modern screening laboratories to visualize, analyse and manage data in the same workflow,” explains Andrea Krumm, Application Scientist at BMG LABTECH in a written statement. “The Genedata Screener Ready-to-Run program enhances our capabilities as it provides out-of-the-box integrations for complex screening technologies, making it the perfect addition to all of our readers, but especially the PHERAstar FSX, the gold standard microplate reader for high-throughput screening.” Designed to import data from any screening instrument, Genedata Screener can handle a range of data from small data sets to extensive experiments with thousands of plates as in ultra-high throughput trials.

The integration will be available from early spring 2017 and requires little to no configuration for BMG LABTECH customers. It is instrument-specific, comes with defined functionality, and is maintained by Genedata as part of a software license agreement.
