Hybrid Multi-Mode Microplate Readers

BioTek's new class of Hybrid multi-mode microplate readers (patent pending) combines a flexible monochromator detection system and a high efficiency filter/dichroic detection system in one instrument. Synergy H1 offers an unbeatable price / performance ratio, while Synergy H4 has been designed to cover the broadest range of applications.

Monochromator-based Multi-Mode Microplate Readers

Monochromator systems provide ease of use, flexibility and cover a broad range of applications out of the box. Synergy H1m is the best value monochromator-based multi-mode reader on the market, while Synergy Mx is the best choice if you need advanced features and performance.

Filter-based Multi-Mode Microplate Readers

Filter-based readers are the best compromise between performance, flexibility and cost. They are extremely efficient optically and deliver an unmatched level of sensitivity. Synergy HT is used in thousands of life science research laboratories worldwide for the most common microplate-based applications. Synergy 2, with its dichroic-based optical system, and fully modular architecture, is the reader of choice if you need the best level of performance.

Fluorescence Readers

BioTek offers a wide choice in fluorescence detection, from the low-cost, highly sensitive FLx800™ to the modular Synergy™, BioTek has the fluorescence reader you need. Cost effective filter-based systems and advanced monochromator-based designs are available. And with BioTek's unique Hybrid Technology™ available on the Synergy H4, you will be able to run more assays than on any other reader.

Alpha Readers

Alpha-based assays (AlphaLISA®, AlphaScreen®, SureFire®) are growing in popularity. Alpha detection is available on BioTek's Synergy 2 and Synergy H4, as well as on the new dedicated Synergy 2 Alpha.
