Product news

The Synergy™ H4 Hybrid Microplate Reader from BioTek Instruments was awarded the LanthaScreen® Certified Plus designation from Invitrogen, part of Life Technologies, a provider of essential life science technologies for research, production and diagnostics. This ensures that the Synergy H4 is validated to strict standards in instrument setup and assay performance and has achieved the highest level of certification.

Synergy H4 uses Hybrid Technology™ to combine sensitive filter-based optics and flexible monochromator-based optics in one compact instrument for endless flexibility in current and future microplate-based assay choice. Additionally, Synergy H4 is compatible with BioTek’s Take3™ Multi-Volume Plate for low-volume measurements down to 2 µL.

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.

Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.
