BioTek Instruments, Inc. Announces Product Lineup for 2008 DDT World Congress

BioTek Instruments, Inc., will attend the 13th annual Drug Discovery & Development of Innovative Therapeutics World Congress, August 4-7, 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts with several of their latest technologies as well as a yet to be announced addition to their beneficial microplate instrumentation portfolio.

Products featured at BioTek’s booth, #413, include the patent-pending Synergy™ 4 Multi-Detection Microplate Reader with Hybrid Technology™; the first in a class of new Hybrid Microplate Readers to combine filter-based and quadruple monochromator-based fluorescence detection technology in one instrument for unlimited flexibility in all current and future microplate-based assays. Its modular design also includes detection modes for Fluorescence Intensity, Fluorescence Polarization, Time-Resolved Fluorescence, Luminescence and UV-Visible Absorbance measurement techniques.

MicroFlo™ Select will also be featured as an all-in-one dispensing solution in one compact benchtop unit. A positive displacement peristaltic pump and a range of cassette sizes and settings provide unlimited flexibility in microplate and microtube style, dispense parameters, and dispense volumes. BioTek’s Precision™ XS, Microplate Sample Processor with four liquid transfer tools will also be presented during the exhibition.

Additionally BioTek will present its BioStack™, featuring automation modules which can be interfaced with BioTek’s microplate technologies for increased speed, flexibility and ease of operation. Components are modular and easily reconfigured when experimental protocols change.
