Agilent BioTek Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Microplate Reader

The Agilent BioTek Synergy HTX Multi-Mode Microplate Reader is a versatile and high-performing instrument designed for a variety of laboratory applications. It features UV-Vis absorbance, filter-based fluorescence, and luminescence capabilities, making it suitable for a variety of different applications. The reader’s unique dual-optics design includes a xenon flash lamp and monochromator for absorbance measurements across a wide wavelength range (200 to 999 nm) and a tungsten halogen lamp with interference filters for sensitive fluorescence detection. This compact system is further enhanced with the Agilent BioTek's unique 4-Zone incubation up to 50°C, the ability to add-on dual reagent injectors, and options for linear and orbital shaking, accommodating 6- to 384-well microplates. The Synergy HTX is compatible with the user-friendly Agilent BioTek Gen5 software, streamlining data collection, analysis, exporting, and reporting.

Additionally, the Synergy HTX is designed for integration with the BioTek BioStack microplate stacker for increased automation and throughput, capable of processing up to 50 microplates simultaneously. The reader is ideal for a range of applications, including nucleic acid and protein quantification, enzyme kinetics, biomarker quantification, ELISAs, genetic analysis, cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, drug absorption and metabolism, food safety, and environmental monitoring. It's also equipped for low volume (2 μL) nucleic acid quantification with Take3 and Take3 Trio plates, and features an advanced incubator design with Condensation Control to minimize plate lid condensation. The device is alpha assay capable, modular, upgradable, and compatible with third-party automation solutions, offering convenience, versatility, and affordability for various scientific research needs.

All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
