Product news

BioTek Instruments is excited to attend the premier SLAS 2012 Conference and Exhibition as a Diamond Sponsor! The exhibition will be held February 4-8, 2012 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. BioTek will feature the full complement of microplate instrumentation and software technologies at Booth 529 in addition to tutorials, seminars and poster presentations. Stop by the booth to play a scavenger hunt game with a chance to win an iPad.

Featured products at the booth include BioTek’s new, cutting edge 405™ Touch Microplate Washer which boasts a high-resolution touch screen with simple protocol creation and execution for enhanced user functionality. Additionally, two integrated USB ports allow multiple users to create and store custom protocols. 405 Touch provides the same industry-leading features as BioTek’s popular ELx405 Microplate Washer.

The monochromator-based Eon Microplate Spectrophotometer provides shaking, temperature control, flexible 200-999 nm wavelength selection, and spectral scanning in 6- to 384-well microplates. An optional cuvette port expands functionality and aids in assay miniaturization to microplates or 2 µL volumes used with BioTek's Take3™ and new Take3 Trio Micro-Volume Plates.

Finally, the EL406™ Combination Microplate Washer Dispenser combines fast, efficient microplate washing with two dispensing technologies for 96- to 1536-well microplates, and also works with magnetic bead-based applications. EL406 is compatible with BioTek's BioStack™ Microplate Stacker and third-party automation for unattended operation, and is controlled via the keypad interface or LHC software.

Registration for BioTek’s tutorials, “Advancing the Evaluation of Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Through the Use of an Automated Luminescent ADCC Assay,” and “Optimiser™ Microfluidic Microplates Enable Unparalleled Flexibility in ELISA”, and information on the Late Night with LRIG session, Liquid Handling Bootcamp and poster presentations are also available.

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.
