BioTek's Synergy™ Neo2 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader offers even more powerful performance and assay flexibility for screening and core laboratories with an optional TRF laser. Along with dual photomultiplier tube (PMT) detection, the 337 nm laser provides the exceptional processing speed and maximum sensitivity necessary for high-quality time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) and time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) results.

Synergy Neo2 provides a wide range of capabilities to facilitate an endless number of high-throughput biochemical and cell-based assay workflows. Patented Hybrid Technology™, with variable bandwidth quad monochromators and sensitive high-transmission filter optics, enables wide flexibility in assay choice. Advanced environmental controls, including incubation to 65 ºC, CO2/O2 regulation, and variable shaking, along with direct bottom detection, support live cell assays. Gen5™ Software controls Synergy Neo2 and enables powerful data analysis. Synergy Neo2 may be linked with BioTek’s BioStack™ Neo or third-party robotic systems for walk-away automation and further enhanced throughput, and may also be easily integrated with any laboratory information management system (LIMS).

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.
