BioTek Synergy H1 Multimode Reader

Over view:

BioTek Synergy H1 is a modular multimode microplate reader, with monochromator-based optics and filter-based optics. The patented Hybrid Technology offers flexibility and sensitivity across a broad range of applications. The modular platform allows upgrading to expand functionality as your laboratory workflows change.

Synergy H1 offers continuously variable bandwidth monochromators for fluorescence excitation and emission wavelength selection. Fluorescence bandwidth can be set between 9 and 50 nm, in 1 nm increments, allowing users to fully optimize reader settings to drive the best assay performance compared to fixed bandwidth systems.

Features:

• Hybrid plate reader provides flexibility and performance with a combination of monochromator and filter optics for any microplate assay and flexible detection capabilities
• Upgradable, modular design allows you to add detection modes, gas control, and dual reagent injectors as your laboratory workflows evolve
• Variable bandwidth settings range between 9 and 50 nm, in 1 nm increments for either increased sensitivity or increased specificity
• Automated Z-focus provides the best performance for all plate types and at low volumes, adjusting reading height to deliver high-performance measurements and high-quality data
• Extended dynamic range enables signal detection across a 7 log measurement range, delivering high sensitivity in low-end measurements and preventing saturated signals in high-end measurements
• Environmental controls and robust shaking profiles enable consistent data in live cell assay workflows, including temperature control to 70 °C and CO₂/O₂ control
• Dual syringe injectors with specialized tips eliminate the need for regular tubing replacement, and two tip types offer flexible use with straight tips for vigorous mixing and rapid inject/read assays or angled tips that do not disturb cell layers
• Microvolume analysis with Take3 plate measures up to 16 or 48 samples in one run, saving time compared to single-sample devices
