Visit BioTek Instruments at stand E4 at ELRIG Manchester, UK, September 2-3, and stand D36 at MipTec, Basel, Switzerland, September 23-25, to see the following instruments, and discover how these technologies can accelerate your drug discovery processes…
- Epoch™ 2, a compact microplate spectrophotometer that combines modern touchscreen technology with excellent performance for UV-Vis measurements in 6- to 384-well microplates, cuvettes and in micro-volume samples with the available Take3™ plate.
- Synergy™ Neo HTS Multi-Mode Microplate Reader, designed specifically for today's screening and core laboratories. NEO has all the features expected in an HTS screening instrument, including multiple parallel detectors for ultra-fast measurements and a dedicated filter-based system for live cell assays.
- Cytation™ 3 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader combines automated digital microscopy and conventional microplate detection into a modular, compact platform that offers both qualitative and quantitative cellular analysis in a streamlined workflow.
- MultiFlo™ FX Multi-Mode Dispenser with RAD™ technology, the best solution in automated 6- to 384-/1536-well microplate dispensers, offering single and multi-well delivery with complete control over individual well selection.
- 405™ Touch Microplate Washer, a high-resolution, LED backlit touchscreen interface, with BioStack™ 4 Microplate Stacker, a compact and versatile microplate stacker compatible with BioTek’s washers, dispensers, detectors and imaging systems.
Stop by for application-specific information on these products and to learn more about the entire range of microplate instrumentation. Additionally, BioTek will be showing five different scientific poster presentations while at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2014.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab 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.
