Plate reader
The machine is good and easy to use. Can read different plate but sometimes the connection between the machine and the computer is disturbed and you need to reconnect them and restart the software.

HTRF Assay development
I found his reader very useful when developing an HTRF assay. Both for endpoint reads and the scanning capability so the proper wavelengths could be determined for kit QC and users to use. The ability to tweak the Ex. & Em wavelength was essential to maximize the S/ N.

Measurement of soil enzymes by fluorescence quantification
The instrument is easily programmed to analyze the fluorescence of soil enzymes and saves us lots of time due to its excellent analysis of the data after it reads the 96 well plates. We have not had to have the unit serviced in over a year and a half of use. It is truly a great asset to our laboratory as we can now achieve a high quality of readings and analysis in a short period of time. It has many other uses but our current use is DNA quantification in 96 well plate and fluorescence of soil enzymes present in our samples.

Enzyme activity assay
The plate reader is very user friendly. I like that any settings I have setup for a certain assay can be saved and ready for the next day. This saves a ton of time. The results were readily reproducible. It may be useful to consider if you can change the temperature settings for the assay. We had one instrument with this capability and the other instrument was unable to adjust the temperature. Any issues with the equipment were always promptly resolved by a tech although this was very rare.

Fluorescence, absorbance
The instrument is used for absorbance and fluorescence measurements. It works with all the available plate to 384-well plates. It posses a temperature control system. The measurements are very precise, with the possibility to choose different wavelengths for the endpoint or kinetic measures. The instrument is used especially for ELISA and kinetics tests.

Fluorescence quantification
The Synergy HTX has been quite easy to learn, implement, and use in the lab. The programming aspect is very user friendly and has a lot of customizability. Although learning the build seems overwhelming, it is actually pretty streamlined once you get familiar. Also, their tech support is amazing (Sam is the best). I highly recommend the product!

Analyze P. aeruginosa growth pattern and reporter expression in different conditions
The Synergy HTX microplate reader is very useful for analyzing bacterial growth and reporter gene expression in presence of different nutrients and/or antimicrobials as well as testing multiple mutants at once. It allows medium throughput applications with high sensitivity and delivers reproducible results. The hardware is simple to use with a flexible design (choosing between different light sources/filters) and looks durable, the software is very detailed and allows customization of each assay although sometimes seems over complicated. Customer service is good.
