BioTek offers several models of multi-detection microplate readers to address many of today's fluorescence microplate reader applications, including the FLx800™ Fluorescence Microplate Reader and the Synergy™ 4 Multi-Mode Fluorescence Microplate Reader and the Synergy MxF Monochromator-based Fluorescence Microplate Reader.
FLx800 Fluorescence Microplate Reader
This fluorescence microplate reader provides a combination of both excellent specifications and performance with remarkable convenience and ease of use. The innovative design of this reader allows for powerful performance at a much lower price than traditional fluorescence microplate readers. Available in several models, with a variety of options designed to meet the demanding needs of both research and clinical users, the FLx800 line of fluorescence microplate readers provide top and/or bottom reading of 6- to 384-well microplates and PCR plates. This innovative line of fluorescence microplate readers also has on-board data reduction software or the ability to be controlled fully by a computer with BioTek's powerful and intuitive Gen5™ Data Analysis Software.
Synergy 4 Hybrid Multi-Mode Microplate Reader
In today's research world, instrumentation needs to be cost effective, reliable and easy to use. It was with these needs in mind that BioTek developed the Synergy 4 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader. Designed with an emphasis on performance in all detection methods, this system is not only a fluorescence microplate reader, but also a reader for absorbance and luminescence measurement, as well as homogeneous detection technique such as fluorescence polarization, FRET and TR-FRET used in high throughput screening, drug development, and life sciences.
The Hybrid Technology of Synergy 4 combines versatile monochromator based fluorescence and sensitive filter based fluorescence detection, providing the ultimate flexibility and performance in a fluorescence microplate reader. The Hybrid fluorescence detection and modular approach to absorbance, luminescence, time resolved fluorescence and fluorescence polarization make Synergy 4 an exciting choice for laboratories requiring high performance and assay flexibility.
Synergy MxF Monochromator-based Fluorescence Microplate Reader
Ultra Fine-Tuned technology is what sets the Synergy MxF Fluorescence Microplate Reader apart. Its quadruple monochromator system selects wavelengths with a repeatability of plus or minus 0.2 nm, anywhere between 250 and 900 nm. Its top optical head can focus up and down on the samples with a 100 µM resolution. Four slits on the excitation and emission side provide a choice of 16 bandpass combinations for every wavelength pair. Its advanced 4-Zone temperature control system incubates up to 65°C with a precision of ± 0.5°C at 37°C. These unique features and BioTek's exclusive focus on microplate instrumentation and software make the Synergy MxF the most precise, sensitive and flexible fluorescence microplate reader available today for life-science research applications.
Gen5 Data Analysis Software
BioTek's Fluorescence Microplate Readers are controlled by the industry-leading Gen5 Data Analysis Software. With its unique reader control, Gen5 can be quickly programmed to run a variety of assays, from simple endpoint absorbance to complicated fluorescence protocols or multi-step kinetics. Designed to provide efficient workflow and a logical interface, this software enables quick and easy transition between reading parameters, plate layout, and data reduction to create customized reports in a publication-ready form.
