BioTek Instruments, Inc. at Society for Biomolecular Sciences Annual Conference

BioTek Instruments, Inc., a leader in microplate instrumentation technology, is introducing its latest innovations in microplate solutions at the 12th annual Society for Biomolecular Sciences Conference and Exhibition, September 17-21, 2006 in Seattle, Washington.

The company will present the technical poster, “The Synergy™ 2, A Novel Approach to Microplate Multi-Detection for HTS and Drug Discovery”. This multi-mode microplate reader was specifically designed to provide research laboratories with performances normally found on high-end HTS instrumentation, while delivering flexibility and efficient cost-control to screening laboratories. This poster will coincide with the product’s global introduction, and the Synergy™ 2 will be featured at Booth #741 along with an instructive Flash Video Presentation.

The company will also present the technical poster, “NanoQuot™, A Cost Effective Flexible Nanoliter Dispenser for High Throughput Screening” at the conference. The dispenser, capable of running stand-alone or computer controlled as part of a robotics system, provides accurate and precise dispensing of volumes ranging from 100 nanoliters to 40 microliters in a variety of microplate formats including 1536-well. Detailed demonstrations of NanoQuot will be available at Booth #741.

Gen5™ Microplate Data Collection and Analysis Software will also be shown at the meeting, and will be included with all high-end detection systems from BioTek Instruments for optimal reader control, data analysis and reporting in a variety of microplate applications.

Also featured at the meeting is the popular ELx405™ Microplate Washer, the only self-maintaining microplate washer on the market today. The built-in ultrasonic cleaner provides effortless washer manifold maintenance for guaranteed assay integrity, and the patented Dual-Action™ manifold provides precise overfill washing and overflow protection. The ELx405 microplate washer meets the most demanding wash requirements with flexibility and efficiency.
