  BioTek’s fastest, highest-performing multi-mode reader

  Hybrid plate reader: Flexibility and performance

With its patented combination of monochromator and filter optics, Synergy Neo2 is an advanced plate reader that delivers both the flexibility and performance you need for any microplate assay in your lab. Monochromator: variable bandwidth, absorbance, fluorescence, luminescence Filters: fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence, Alpha laser.

  Variable bandwidth for sensitivity and specificity

The Synergy Neo2 optics use a quad monochromator design, with variable bandwidth settings between 3 nm and 50 nm, in 1 nm increments. Large bandwidth settings (1) provide increased sensitivity and lower limits of detection. Small bandwidth settings (2) provide increased specificity when multiple signals are present, reducing signal crosstalk and enhancing assay performance.

  Dual PMT = Fast Reading Speed

Two PMTs: Synergy Neo2 takes two measurements simultaneously. Other systems have to perform FP, FRET and TR-FRET measurements one at a time, which considerably lengthens the time to results.

  Two lasers: For TRF, TR-FRET and Alpha

Alpha and TRF assays benefit from the increased sensitivity and fast reading speeds enabled by a laser-based system.

  Process plates 30% faster with BioStack Neo

Synergy Neo2's dedicated stacker is the fastest "plate server" in the world. Its dual plate carrier enables it to process plates about 30% faster than other stackers on the market. This leads to significant compounding time savings. For example, over the course of a year at 50 plates a day, the total time savings is nearly 40 hours.

  Environmental controls for cell-based assays

Temperature control to 65 °C, CO2 / O2  control,  and shaking create the ideal environment for live cell assay workflows. A consistent environment leads to consistent data for long-term kinetic assays.

  Micro-volume analysis with Take3 plate

Synergy Neo2 acts as a micro-volume analysis system, when the Take3 or Take3 Trio plates are used. With only 2 µL each, run 16 or 48 samples at a time, saving considerable time compared to single-sample devices. Pre-defined ssDNA, dsDNA, RNA and protein protocols provide rapid quantification results.
