Streamlined Luminescence Results, Start to Finish
MyGlo® is more than a compact plate reader—it’s part of Promega’s ProNect® Data Platform , delivering guided flexible workflows built by scientists for scientists.
- From read to results in less than 30 seconds for a full plate read (1s integration time).
- ProNect® apps guide you through plate setup, reading, and analysis.
- Automated calculations generate clear, accurate results in minutes.
- Cloud-based analysis provides access to interactive graphs and detailed data, wherever you are.
It's As Simple As It Looks,
Maybe Simpler
Automated In-App Analysis: From Assay to Insight in Minutes
Turn raw luminescence data into clear results—no manual calculations, no extra software.
ProNect® apps work with MyGlo® to guide you from plate read to analysis, delivering rapid, ready-to-use insights. For Promega assays with dedicated apps, ProNect® automatically delivers:
- Analysis types: dose response (with EC50/IC50 values and 4PL/5PL curve fits), single concentration, and linearity analysis.
- Assay-specific visualizations, including:
- CellTiter-Glo®: cell viability and % inhibition
- Caspase-Glo® 3/7: caspase activity
- LDH-Glo™: % cytotoxicity and LDH release
- Exportable Data: Raw and processed data accessible in-app or exportable to Excel for downstream use.
What You Need to Know About MyGlo®
- Software included via ProNect®: Guided workflows for plate setup, reading, analysis, and cloud-based results.
- Incubator ready: Compatible with use in incubators. (See Data)
- No calibration required: Factory calibrated, advanced sensor technology ensures accuracy, and each device includes a calibration certificate.

MyGlo® FAQs
- Single-mode design that streamlines operation for specific assays.
- Remote control capabilities let you manage experiments from anywhere.
- Meaningful data insights are surfaced through guided setup, plate reading, and data analysis all managed through ProNect® apps.
- Always available—MyGlo is ready when you’re ready, eliminating the wait and planning required for shared instruments.
MyGlo® gives you the flexibility of two different workflows depending on the luminescent assay you are using and on the requirements of your experiment.
Workflow 1: Plate Read + Analysis
Provides assay-specific results and end-to-end data analysis in less time than incubating CellTiter-Glo® samples. Available for assays with dedicated ProNect® apps (e.g., CellTiter-Glo®).
Steps:
- Quick read in <30 seconds.
- Create a plate map (~5 minutes).
- Analyze and visualize data (~10 seconds).
Workflow 2: Quick Read + Export
Works with any luminescent assay, including customized assays without a dedicated ProNect® app.
Steps:
- Read a full 96-well plate in <30 seconds.
- See results instantly as a raw RLU heatmap.
- Easily export data as Excel file (GraphPad Prism–ready).
3D Spheroid Compatibility
- MyGlo® is compatible with 3D luminescent assays.
- For best results, transfer spheroids from a seeding plate to a white 96-well plate before measurement.
MyGlo® is designed to leverage the power and convenience of the cloud. It requires an internet connection via your lab’s Wi-Fi to operate using the ProNect® apps.
- Currently, there is no offline version of MyGlo®.
- Coming soon: Glo-Fi™ network accessory, which will expand connectivity options to Wi-Fi 5Ghz, wired Ethernet, and global cellular.
