BioTek Synergy™ 2 and 4 Multi-Mode Microplate Readers passed the validation criteria under the following conditions:
Using a 620/40nm excitation filter, a 680/30nm emission filter, a 660nm cutoff dichroic, and a Red-Shifted PMT; instrument was set to 3 flashes and yielded a Z' >0.7 in 1:52 min.
A detailed scientific presentation of the instrument validation.
Instrument Information
BioTek is a company exclusively focused on microplate instrumentation and offers a range of filter-based and monochromator-based multi-mode microplate readers. Both Synergy™ 2 and Synergy™ 4 use a high-performance filter-based detection system for Fluorescence Polarization measurements. In addition the patent-pending Synergy 4 is equipped with BioTek's Hybrid Technology™ that combines filter-based and monochromator-based fluorescence in one compact unit. The two instruments are controlled by BioTek's advanced Gen5 Data Analysis Software. Complete instructions and tool sets are available for hardware and software qualification.
