The NEPHELOstar Plus microplate nephelometer detects insoluble particles in liquid samples by measuring forward scattered light. It uses a laser beam that is directed through the solution and it can detect the scattered light at angles of up to 80 degrees. The NEPHELOstar Plus can be up to thirty times more sensitive than traditional transmission readers that measure the reduction in direct light passing through a sample well via optical density.

The intensity and beam diameter of the laser light can be adjusted in the easy to use software, and this allows measurement of light scatter in colored or turbid solutions. In addition, the flexible beam diameter allows measurement in 6 - 384-well microplate format. Temperature-regulated heating plates above and below the entire plate movement area provide uniform incubation up to 45°C. These features, along with BMG LABTECH\'s Digital Photon Integration (DPI) technology and a detection angle of 80°, ensure that the NEPHELOstar Plus nephelometer is approximately thirty times more sensitive than conventional transmission readers.

Developed to meet high-throughput demands, this microplate-based nephelometer is faster than conventional solubility detection methods with the highest possible sensitivity and flexibility.
