The Synergy™ 2 is a five-mode modular microplate reader designed for the life science research and drug discovery fields, providing unprecedented levels of performance and cost-effectiveness in a single compact unit.

Synergy 2 detection modes include Fluorescence Intensity, Polarisation, Time-resolved, Luminescence and UV-visible Absorbance.

Synergy 2 utilises a unique optical design, where a combination of monochromator, interference filters and dichroic mirrors provide the best possible levels of performance in all detection modes. It uses three broad-spectrum light sources and two independent detection systems to ensure optimal illumination, and detection in all applications.

Synergy 2 can be used in a wide range of applications. With built-in temperature control and user-programmable shaking, plus the option of dual reagent injectors, virtually any microplate based application is possible.

 

Synergy 2 applications include:

  • Screening assays (e.g. fluorescence polarisation, TR-FRET, luminescence)
  • Binding assays
  • Ion channel assays
  • Quantitative assays (DNA, protein)
  • Kinetic assays
  • Gene expression assays (GFP, Luciferase)
  • ELISA
  • Cell proliferation, cytotoxicity assays

 

Synergy 2 features include:

  • Measurement Techniques
Fluorescence Intensity, Time-resolved fluorescence, Fluorescence Polarisation, Glow and Flash Luminescence, UV-visible Absorbance, FRET, TR-FRET, BRET, Well-area scanning, Spectral scanning
  • Unique Optical System
A narrow band monochromator, optimised filter/dichroic mirror pairing, and three broad-spectrum light sources achieve superior performance in all measurement modes
  • High Sensitivity
Dedicated optical elements optimised for each modality result in the lowest limits of detection available in a single compact instrument
  • Modular Design
purchase only what is required and easily upgrade later as experimental requirements demand
  • High Throughput
Optimised for high-throughput screening assays, including 1536-well plates
