Product news

Synbiosis, a world-leading manufacturer of automated microbiological systems invites scientists to visit Stand 171/270, Hall A3 at Analytica where Synbiosis staff will demonstrate how ProtoCOL HR, åCOLyte and AutoZone, the most advanced automated colony counting and zone sizing systems currently available can significantly increase their productivity.

On stand, Synbiosis is showing its top of the range, ProtoCOL HR, ideal for microbiologists looking for a high quality combined colony counting and zone sizing system. Synbiosis experts will explain how ProtoCOL HR’s unique features such as high resolution colour camera for visualising colonies and plaques as small as 0.1mm, LED lighting above and below the plate holder and powerful image analysis software make this system the most accurate on the market today.

For dedicated colony counting, Synbiosis is exhibiting, åCOLyte, its low-cost colony counter which comes as either semi-automated Click’n’Count, or fully automated SuperCount. This system offers a rapid alternative to manual counting, providing full colour image display, as well as GLP compliant result reporting and archiving.

Finally on stand, Synbiosis is unveiling its latest version of AutoZONE, an automatic zone analysis system that allows users to measure reaction zones up to 50 times faster than manual measurement. The system is so versatile it can be used for a range of inhibition and exhibition zone analysis applications including multi-zone bioassay plate analysis (36 and 64 zone plates) and single radial immunodiffusion assays and is being used to increase throughput of vaccine and antibiotic production in many pharma companies.

Martin Smith, Divisional Manager for Synbiosis commented: “We are delighted to be showcasing such a high quality range of colony counters and zone sizing systems on Stand 171/270 at Analytica. Microbiologists are welcome to visit us here where we will be pleased to demonstrate the time saving benefits these state of the art systems can bring to their research.”

Gel Doc / Image AnalysisGel documentation (gel doc) or gel imaging systems are used for the analysis of proteins, antibodies and nucleic acid immobilized in polyacrylamide or agarose gels, membranes or microarrays. Explore a range of a gel imaging systems, densitometers, scanners, transilluminators or UV lamp + CCD cameras for your image analysis solutions. Colorimetric, fluorescent and/or radioisotopic samples can be visualized and documented for further analysis. See gel doc / Image analysis software for quantitative 1D and 2D analysis of your samples. Find the best gel doc / image analysis 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.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
