Product news

Tecan, a global leader in laboratory automation and detection, has been granted Transcreener® Far Red FP validated status for its high-end multimode readers Infinite® M1000, Infinite F500 and Safire2™, by BellBrookLabs, LLC, a R&D-driven company and provider of enabling drug discovery screening tools for the pharmaceutical industry.

All of Tecan’s high-end multimode microplate readers outlined in this press release have shown outstanding performance and speed during the Transcreener® Far Red FP assay validation at BellBrookLabs, which tests the high quality fluorescence polarization detection capabilities of multimode microplate readers.

The Infinite M1000 is Tecan’s new, high-end, premium quad4 monochromators™-based multimode instrument, providing outstanding flexibility, sensitivity and speed for demanding applications in drug discovery, life sciences and research. Its new technology makes it the successor to Tecan’s high performance Safire2™ microplate reader.

The Infinite F500, Tecan’s high-end, filter-based multimode instrument, is Tecan’s most sensitive filter-based detection platform yet. It is based on the latest technological developments to provide a multifunctional and modular system that rapidly analyzes all your fluorescence- and luminescence-based assays at outstanding sensitivity levels.

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.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.

Plate processing systems include microplate handlers for moving plates, heat sealers, stackers and carousels for storage, retrieval and delivery, microplate washers and piercers. Useful features of plate processors include walk-away automation, compatibility and easy integration with microplate systems.
