Product news

BioTek, a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture, and sale of microplate instrumentation and software, has announced the release of the new Synergy Neo2 Multi-Mode Reader. With improved performance and new features, Synergy Neo2 is now the most advanced, high-performance, high-speed plate reader on the market today.

Synergy™ Neo2 is designed for speed and ultra high performance, incorporating BioTek’s patented Hybrid Technology™, with its independent optical paths that ensure uncompromised performance. Continuously variable bandwidth quadruple monochromators, sensitive high transmission filter-based optics and up to 4 PMTs provide ultra-fast measurements with excellent results. Advanced environment controls include CO2/O2 control, incubation to 65 °C and variable shaking support live cell assays; cell-based detection is optimized with direct bottom illumination. Barcode-labeled filter cubes help streamline workflows and limit errors, and the available BioStackNeo plate stacker is the fastest on the market – ideal for high throughput requirements. Powerful Gen5™ Data Analysis Software is included, and features designed for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance are available in Gen5 Secure.

Gary Barush, Director of Marketing & Sales, states "For years BioTek has led the evolution of multi-mode detection. We are proud to introduce this top-of-the-line reader which combines best in class performance in all modes with the speed that customers demand. In addition to being optimized for biochemical assay performance, Synergy Neo2 provides unsurpassed results for cell based assay detection, while its modular configuration makes this new level of performance accessible for many budgets."

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.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.
