Labtech International has unveiled the world’s first true multi-detection system capable of performing an unlimited number of microplate-based assays – the new patent-pending Synergy™ 4 Multi-Detection Microplate Reader from BioTek Instruments. The Synergy 4 is the first multi-mode reader that combines both filter-based and quadruple monochromator-based fluorescence detection technology. In addition, Synergy 4 includes Fluorescence Intensity, Luminescence, Fluorescence Polarization, Time-Resolved Fluorescence, and UV-Visible Absorbance for endless flexibility in current and future microplate-based assay choice.
Filter-based fluorescence technology provides optimal light filtering and purification for the best sensitivity. The inherent design of filter systems also provides fast wavelength switching and higher read speeds. On the other hand, the quadruple monochromator-based fluorescence technology offers flexible wavelength selection, true spectral scanning, reduced background noise and increased convenience. The combination of the filter and monochromator systems in one unit means that microplate assay choice is no longer restricted by the technology of the microplate reader.

“The introduction of the Synergy4 to our range of microplate instruments means that for the first time, the scientist can purchase a multi-detection plate reader without compromising on any aspect of performance.” commented Andrew Jones, Technical Director to Labtech International. “The Synergy4 gives all of the flexibility of monochromator-based fluorescence but also provides the increased sensitivity of filter-based fluorescence”.
