Biotek Synergy 2 SL Microplate Reader
The Biotek Synergy 2 SL is a single-channel microplate reader for research and
development and in vitro diagnostic use and includes incubation control, shaking, Gen5 software and Luminescence capability. Synergy 2 uses a unique combination of monochromator, filters and dichroic mirrors. Its three broad-spectrum light sources have been chosen for optimal illumination and excitation in all applications. The reader is computer-controlled using BioTek’s Gen5 PC software for all operations including data reduction and analysis. The Synergy 2 is robot accessible and compatible with BioTek’s BioStack Microplate Stacker. Gen5 supports OLE automation to facilitate the Synergy 2’s integration into an automated system. Luminescence is measured by the low-noise PMT detector through an empty filter position in the Emission filter wheel. Filters can also be used if light filtering is necessary. The Synergy 2 SL has a 4-Zone temperature control from 4°C over ambient to 50°C. Internal plate shaking is supported to ensure that reagents are properly mixed prior to reading. Please Note: This is the SL model of the Synergy 2 Microplate Reader, which is only configured for measuring/detecting Luminescence. Please see the Product Manual for more information.
The Biotek Synergy 2 SL Microplate Reader - Luminescence Only includes:
- > Windows 11 Professional 64-Bit Data Station with Pre-Loaded Gen5 PC Software
- > Operator's Manual
- > Interface Cable
- > Full 180 Day Part and Labor Warranty
