BioTek Synergy MX Microplate Reader - Absorbance Only

The BioTek Synergy MX Microplate Reader - Absorbance Only is an advanced, versatile laboratory instrument designed for various life-science research applications. This state-of-the-art device features a fully monochromator-based system with quadruple grating architecture, ensuring ultra-fine-tuned performance across a range of functions. It is compatible with the Take3 Multi-Volume Plate, which includes 2 µL microspots for conducting low volume assays efficiently. The Synergy MX's automated Z-height adjustment can accommodate varying microplate heights and liquid levels with a precise 100 μm resolution. The variable bandpass selection system adds further flexibility to its operations. Additionally, the device includes a cuvette port for standard 1-cm path cuvettes.

The absorbance specifications of the Synergy MX are impressive. It utilizes a Xenon flash lamp as its light source and a double monochromator for wavelength selection, covering a range from 230 to 999 nm in 1 nm increments. The device ensures photometric accuracy of < 1% at 2.0 OD and repeatability of < 0.5% at 2.0 OD, with a dynamic range from 0 to 4.0 OD. This microplate reader can accommodate formats from 1 to 384-well plates and PCR plates, and offers various read methods such as endpoint, kinetic, spectral scanning, and well-area scanning. It also includes plate shaking features and precise temperature control from Ambient +4°C to 65°C. Controlled by BioTek's powerful Gen5 software, the Synergy MX facilitates easy data collection, analysis, exporting, and reporting, making it an invaluable tool for modern laboratories engaged in life-science research. Please Note: This is the SMAC model of the Synergy MX, which DOES NOT feature fluorescence detection, luminescence detection, or a dual reagent dispenser. This is also an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) model suitable for clinical and diagnostic laboratory applications.

All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
