Biotek Instruments has introduced the monochromator-based Synergy Mx multi-mode microplate reader with ultra fine-tuned performance.
Ultra fine-tuned performance from Synergy Mx in fluorescence, luminescence and absorbance read modes provide results on par with those normally found only in dedicated single-mode systems.
The top- and bottom-read fluorescence system is monochromator based and equipped with a variable bandpass selection system.
The fluorescent system's premium quadruple grating architecture is designed to offer a high level of spectral discrimination and smooth spectral scans.
Automated Z-height adjustment of the top optical head accommodates different microplate heights with 100um resolution.
Optimal sensitivity is also achieved, especially for low-volume samples.
With Synergy Mx's modular format, the required detection modes can be selected for specific laboratory needs and upgraded at any time as the needs change.
Shaking and temperature control systems as well as Gen5 data analysis software are standard on all Synergy Mx models.
Options include a UV-visible cuvette port and dual-reagent dispenser.
The cuvette port allows for cuvette-based samples and comparisons to standard cuvette spectrophotometers.
Dual-reagent dispensers allow precise control of reagent additions and timing in kinetic studies, ion channel assays and flash ATP assays.
