I'm looking to order a microplate reader, fluorometer and spectrophotometer. According to your experience with this kind of machine, which brand/model would you advice me ?
Dear Sir. Concerning your issue about the order a microplate reader, fluorometer and spectrophotometer. According to our experience with these instrument, I advise you to order them from shimadzu corporation , Japan. For more details see the following below links which may help you:
From personal experience I would recommend BMG or Tecan plate readers for fluorescence/luminescence measurements. It strongly depends on the main application/budget you have in mind on what model to buy.
I would recommend comparing the different manufacturers, they should have solutions adapted to your actual needs and then you can choose accordingly. My choice (however biased like any user) would be Molecular Devices.
As per my experience if you have limited budget then go with Biotek Synegry HTX model. If you afford more then go with higher model where you will get grating based fluorescence detection.
