Synergy MxF Monochromator-Based Fluorescence Microplate Reader
Ultra Fine-Tuned™ technology is what sets the Synergy MxF Fluorescence Reader apart. Its quadruple monochromator system selects wavelengths with a repeatability of plus or minus 0.2 nm. Its top optical head can focus up and down on the samples with a 100 µm resolution. Four slits on the excitation and emission side provide a choice of 16 bandpass combinations for every wavelength pair. Its advanced 4-Zone™ temperature control system incubates up to 65°C with a precision of ± 0.5°C at 37°C. These unique features and BioTek's exclusive focus on microplate instrumentation and software make the Synergy MxF the most precise, sensitive and flexible fluorescence microplate reader available today for life-science research applications.

Features of Synergy MxF
- Fully monochromator-based with quadruple grating architecture for Ultra Fine-Tuned performance.
- Compatible with Take3 Multi-Volume Plate: sixteen 2 µL microspots for low volume DNA/RNA 260 nm measurements. Saves precious samples, very fast and simple process.
- Variable bandpass selection allows to precisely tune the system to a variety of fluorescent dyes.
- Automated Z-height adjustment accommodates variable microplate heights and liquid levels with 100 µm resolution.
- Upgradeable architecture allows the purchase additional read modes when requirements change.
- Optional dual-reagent dispenser can be used for assays requiring precise timing such as ion channel assays.
