Microplate Reader

By Drug Discovery Trends Editor | December 21, 2009

BioTek Instruments continues to expand its Synergy Multi-Mode Microplate Reader family with the introduction of the patent-pending Synergy H4 with Hybrid Technology. Synergy H4 combines the sensitivity of filter-based optics with the flexibility of monochromator-based optics in one compact instrument for high-performance fluorescence-based applications. This unique hybrid of both technologies provides for endless flexibility in current and future microplate-based assay choice. Additionally, Synergy H4 is compatible with BioTek’s Take3 Multi-Volume Plate for low-volume measurements down to 2 ?L.

Filter/dichroic-based fluorescence optics provide superior light filtering and purification with fast wavelength switching and read speeds. This exceptional performance is perfect for demanding applications including TR-FRET, fluorescence polarization or AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA.

Quadruple monochromator-based fluorescence optics provide the flexibility to choose any wavelength from the UV to the near infrared for a broad range of applications; and the variable bandpass selection system is ideal for spectral scanning applications. Top and bottom optics enhance assay flexibility even further.

Synergy H4 is modular, and the fully equipped configuration may be used for fluorescence intensity/FRET, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) and TR-FRET, fluorescence polarization, AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA, Luminescence and UV-Visible Absorbance.
