The Synergy™ 4 with Hybrid Technology™ combines two both filter-based and monochromator-based optical systems in one compact unit.This allows complete flexibility and instant control over application choice for both current and future requirements.

Synergy 4 is the world's first true multi-detection system capable of performing an unlimited number of microplate based assays.

Synergy 4 is a five-mode modular microplate reader designed for the life science research and drug discovery fields, providing unprecedented levels of performance. It combines the Performance of filter-based systems with the flexibility and convenience of monochromator-based readers to provide the broadest range of applications available today.

Synergy 4 detection modes and applications include Fluorescence Intensity, Fluorescence Polarization, Time-Resolved Fluorescence, Luminescence, UV-visible Absorbance, FRET, TR-FRET, BRET, well area scanning and Spectral scanning.

With built-in temperature control and user-programmable shaking, plus the option of dual reagent injectors, virtually any microplate based application is possible.

Synergy 4 features include:

  • Hybrid Technology



    Combined filter-based and monochromator-based systems gives the sensitivity of a filter-based instrument with the flexibility of a monochromator-based one.

  • Modular architecture

    Read modes are available as individual modules


  • Detection modes and applications include:
  • Screening assays (e.g. fluorescence polarization, TR-FRET, luminescence), AlphaScreen
  • Spectral Scanning
  • Binding assays
  • Ion channel assays
  • Quantitative assays (DNA, protein)
  • Kinetic assays
  • Gene expression assays (GFP, Luciferase)
  • ELISA assays
  • Cell proliferation, cytotoxicity assays
  • Quadruple Grating System

Two double-grating monochromators produce the very best stray light rejection, continuous selection of both excitation and emission wavelengths and spectral scanning capabilities.

  • Deep blocking filter and dichroic mirrors

This system provides the best possible performance in fluorescence intensity, time resolved fluorescence and fluorescence polarization measurements.

The Synergy 4 filter/mirror system delivers high levels of energy to the sample and provides high signal-to-noise ratios. Faster read speeds, better sensitivity, more precise control over optical parameters - this system delivers ultimate performance.

  • Certified by Reagent Kit manufacturers
         
Certified by Promega for Dual Luciferase Reporter (DLR) gene assay; high performance TRF detection certified by Cisbio for HTRF® TR-FRET assay platform.
