BMG Labtech is a German developing and manufacturing company that produces microplate reader instrumentation. A microplate or microtiter (microtitre) plate is a flat plate with multiple wells arranged in a rectangular matrix, often made of polystyrene or polypropylene.[1] Microplates have become a standard tool in bio-analytical research. BMG Labtech provides instruments for pharmaceutical, biotechnological, life science and food manufacturers, as well as academic researchers and diagnostic laboratories. BMG Labtech’s equipment offers many types of bioanalytical measurement techniques, including fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF), time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET), UV/Vis absorbance, alpha technology, and nephelometry.
History[edit]
The company was founded in December 1989, in Offenburg, Germany, and started as a one-man engineering office. Public funding for the development of a fluorescence measurement device enabled BMG Labtech to introduce their first microplate fluorometer, the FLUOstar, in 1993. The company then expanded and opened offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and France. Currently, BMG Labtech maintains a sales and service network that spans more than 50 countries.
In 2010 BMG Labtech's FLUOstar Omega was used in the development of a new prion seeding assay, which meant that testing for Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease could now be done in a couple of days, rather than weeks.[2][3]
In 2011 the company moved from Offenburg to its new Headquarters in Ortenberg.
