Hybrid Readers

BioTek's new class of Hybrid multi-mode microplate readers combines both a quadruple monochromator fluorescence detection system and a high efficiency filter/dichroic detection system in one instrument. This new technology provides an extraordinary degree of flexibility and sensitivity for your assays.

Synergy H4 Hybrid Multi-Mode Microplate Reader

The patent pending Synergy H4 is BioTek’s newest Hybrid plate reader. Its second generation top/bottom monochromator optics covers a broader wavelength range, and incorporates a variable bandpass selection system for added flexibility. Its filter-based optics uses dichroic mirrors for fast read speeds and best performances in TRF, FP and AlphaScreen/AlphaLISA detection modes. Flexible monochromator system, sensitive filter-based optics, Hybrid Technology™ at its best.

Synergy 4 Hybrid Multi-Mode Microplate Reader

Synergy 4 with Hybrid Technology™ was the first Hybrid Microplate Reader ever launched on the market. By combining the exquisite sensitivity of filter-based detection with the flexibility of monochromator-based detection, it created a new class of multi-mode readers. Hybrid readers are capable of performing an unlimited number of microplate-based assays, and provide an unmatched level of flexibility.

Multi-Mode Readers
