BioTek Instruments, Inc. to Present at Drug Discovery Technology & Development World Congress

BioTek Instruments, a leader in microplate instrumentation technology, is introducing its latest innovations in microplate solutions at the 11th annual Drug Discovery Technology & Development World Congress, August 7-10, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts.

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 performance 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 #413 along with an instructive Flash Video Presentation.

BioTek 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 #413.

Gen5™ Microplate Data Collection and Analysis Software also marks its debut 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 are the Bio-Stack™ automation modules that can be interfaced to various microplate technologies from BioTek Instruments for increased speed, flexibility and ease of operation. Components are modular and easily reconfigured when experimental protocols change.
