"The FLIPR tetra has been a workhorse for us for the past five years. The assay itself requires much optimization however the instrument is very easy to use. We've found Molecular Devices to be one of the more responsive manufacturers of the many we deal with. However the initial investment is a significant hurdle, especially for such a specialized instrument."

"It is easy to set up, easy to modify and quick to upgrade. It is reliable for detecting rapid cellular calcium transients in 96 and 384 plates. A refreshingly straight forward for a MolDev device. It can be enhanced with tip washing, by integration with various plate handling systems, and through use of ScreenWorks PeakPro analysis software. Not the cheapest kit, but instrument of choice for this application. "

"FLIPR Tetra has been the key data generator for me for last 4 years. The software is easy to use and doesn't require an expert to operate. It can carry out different ion channel experiments and is supportive in designing new experiments with different cell lines."

"This is an easy to use product, but the specialist repair service is not so good as there are few engineers. However, it is reliable if you know how to use it properly. Watch out for flooding of the reservoirs and breakdown of the cooling systems."

"A great product but troubleshooting is complex and you need to depend greatly on the service contract."
