Product news

BioTek Instruments, Inc., showcases their newest microplate instrumentation technology at the 12th annual Drug Discovery & Development of Innovative Therapeutics World Congress, August 6-9, 2007 in Boston, Massachusetts. Several new products will be featured at BioTek's booth, #411.

The company will debut the patent-pending Synergy™ 4 Multi-Detection Microplate Reader with Hybrid Technology™; the only true multi-mode reader that combines filter-based and quadruple monochromator-based fluorescence detection technology in one instrument for endless flexibility in current as well as future microplate-based assays. Fluorescence Intensity, Fluorescence Polarization, Time-Resolved Fluorescence, Luminescence and UV-Visible Absorbance measurement techniques are also included.

New liquid dispensing technology includes the launch of the new MicroFlo™ Select, an all-in-one dispensing solution with unlimited choice in microplate and microtube style, dispense parameters, cassette settings, all in one compact benchtop unit. BioTek's NanoQuot™, Sub-microliter Dispenser; µFill™, Microplate Dispenser; and Precision™ XS, Microplate Sample Processor will also be presented during the exhibition.

The industry standard ELx405™ washers, popularly known for their washing efficiency and flexibility, will be featured, along with the recently released ELx50 FMW, designed specifically for dispensing and washing in filter bottom microplate applications.

Also at the meeting will be the Bio-Stack™ automation modules that can be interfaced to various microplate technologies from BioTek Instruments for increased speed, flexibility and ease of operation. Components are modular and easily reconfigured when experimental protocols change.

Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
