A new high-performance, high-speed microplate reader is now available for biotech and other life science laboratories.

The BioTek (Winooski, VT, USA) Synergy Neo2 Multi-Mode Reader was designed for speed and ultra-high quality performance. It incorporates BioTek's patented Hybrid technology, which combines independent monochromator-based and filter-based optics in the same instrument. Thus, continuously variable bandwidth quadruple monochromators, sensitive high transmission filter-based optics, and up to four photomultiplier tubes provide ultra-fast measurements with high quality results.

Complementing its sophisticated optic systems, the Synergy Neo2 boasts advanced environment controls, including CO2/O2 control and incubation up to 65 degrees Celsius. Variable shaking supports live cell assays, while cell-based detection is optimized with direct bottom illumination.

The instrument package is powered by BioTek's Gen5 Data Analysis Software and has been configured to integrate seamlessly with the optional BioStackNeo plate stacker, which was designed specifically for use with the Synergy Neo2.

Gary Barush, director of marketing and sales at BioTek, said, “For years BioTek has led the evolution of multimode detection. We are proud to introduce this top-of-the-line reader which combines best in class performance in all modes with the speed that customers demand. In addition to being optimized for biochemical assay performance, Synergy Neo2 provides unsurpassed results for cell based assay detection, while its modular configuration makes this new level of performance accessible for many budgets”.
