BioTek Expands Next Generation Hybrid Microplate Reader Instrumentation

BioTek, the market leader in Hybrid Microplate Detection Technology, has released its newest product, the Synergy™ H1 Hybrid Multi-Mode Microplate Reader. This latest addition to its “patent-pending” product line expands the performance, versatility and flexibility offered by Hybrid Technology.
Synergy H1 is offered as highly flexible, high value monochromator-based Multi-Mode microplate reader for UV-Vis absorbance, top and bottom fluorescence, and luminescence assays that can be easily upgraded to a “hybrid” reader with the addition of a high performance filter module. This independent filter module with dichroic mirrors supports Fluorescence Polarization (FP), Time-Resolved Fluorescence (TRF), TR-FRET and BRET assays with ultra-high sensitivity.
Synergy H1 includes BioTek’s well recognized Gen5™ Data Analysis Software for advanced reader control, data analysis, graphing, exporting and reporting. Additionally, Synergy H1 is compatible with BioTek’s Take3™ Multi-Volume Plate that measures up to sixteen 2 µL samples, two BioCells or a standard cuvette for fast and simple multi-volume, multi-sample analysis.
“Synergy H1 provides robust performance and for the first time makes “Hybrid Technology” available to life science, academic and small biotechnology companies at a very competitive price. The modular architecture means that customers can easily upgrade from a monochromator-based multi-mode reader to a hybrid reader offering true versatility and unlimited assay use.” - Gary Barush, Director of Marketing and Sales, Biotek
