Recognizing the importance of bioassay statistical analysis in drug discovery, HTS and other research markets, BioTek Instruments, Inc., has incorporated Parallel Line Analysis in the new Gen5™ Data Analysis Software version 1.06. Parallelism analysis can be made with Gen5's linear regression, 4-parameter and 5-parameter logistic fits.

Multiple curve metrics and detailed statistics are available to ensure the most accurate estimations of parallelism and relative potency between the experimental curves and control curves. Along with parallel line analysis, Gen5 v1.06 offers a number of enhancements designed to combine powerful analysis tools with unsurpassed ease of use including color gradient data views, individual patient reports, use of curve parameters in data transformations and more.

BioTek Instruments, Inc., headquartered in Winooski, VT, is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture, and sale of microplate instrumentation and software. BioTek instrumentation is used to accelerate the drug discovery process, to advance discoveries in genomics and proteomics, and to aid in the advancement of life science research. Founded in 1968, BioTek Instruments is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

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.Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.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.
