Industry News: BioTek Presents Multi-Functional, Microplate-Based Workflow Solutions at analytica 2014

Featured at BioTek’s stand will be two new microplate reader technologies. The award-winning and patent pending Cytation™ 3 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader combines automated digital fluorescence microscopy and conventional microplate detection in a single, modular and upgradable platform. Quantitative and phenotypic analyses may be completed easily and efficiently across a variety of assays. Cytation 3 is particularly useful for live cell assays where temperature control and available gas control module create an ideal environment for growing, imaging, counting and analyzing cells in microplates, slides, petri dishes and other vessels.

The intuitive, color touch screen interface on BioTek’s MultiFlo™ FX Microplate Dispenser provides fast and easy protocol creation and implementation at the touch of a finger. MultiFlo FX combines up to four independent reagent dispensers and an optional washer in a modular format for customization at any time, while unique Parallel Dispense™ technology combines syringe and peristaltic pump-based dispensing to eliminate reagent carryover. MultiFlo FX may also be optionally controlled via BioTek’s Liquid Handling Control™ (LHC™) software for increased flexibility.

Additional microplate-based workflow solutions in reading, washing, dispensing and automating will be available at Hall A3, Stand #310. For a complimentary one-day-ticket, please contact Mrs. Sabine Drecker, e-mail: drecker@biotek.de.
