So good we purchased a second one!
Application Area: Assay Development and High Throughput Screening
"The sensitivity and flexibility (monochrome wheel or filters, - gas controller, etc.) of the Neo Synergy provides a way to measure almost any assay output and makes this plate reader ideal. The software is easy to use and allows for data manipulation. The Neo Synergy plate reader has exceeded our expectations. The customer support and training has been the best I have experienced. We just purchased a second one!"

The dual monochromators and filter-based reads are a plus. Overall, a great plate reader for the price

"We have had the Synergy Neo for about 1 year now and it has been working great. The dual monochromators and filter-based reads are a plus. Overall, a great plate reader for the price... "

"This reader has improved productivity massively in our lab by allowing us to read plates around 5 times quicker than our previous equipment and with better results. The software is easy to use and offers more options for optimization and analysis. Allowing the use of both a monochromator and customized mirror/filter blocks, this reader can detect any fluorescence based technology. The changing of mirrors and filters is quick and easy without any need for machine restarts. Quick support is available over the phone, although we haven't needed any given the ease of use. This is highly recommended for any lab."

With a load/unload plate transfer time of about 6 seconds per plate, NEO’s optional integrated plate stacker is the fastest stacker on the market, allowing walk-away automation of short- or long-term assays. Synergy NEO also meets today's diverse assay requirements by incorporating features such as a powerful 100 mW laser-based excitation source for Alpha assays, a unique patent pending hybrid optical design, advanced temperature control to 65°C, orbital and linear shaking.
Ease of use and user confidence are key to the design of Synergy NEO’s unique filter cubes that are barcode labeled for positive filter ID - limiting the possibility of errors and streamlining the workflow, while an available image-based barcode reader can scan both 1D and 2D barcode-labeled plates. The outstanding functionality of Synergy NEO is controlled by the powerful, yet easy to use, Gen5 2.0 Data Analysis Software. If you are involved in the HTS screening world, Synergy NEO was designed just for you.
• 4 PMT detectors including a dual PMT read head for ultra-fast ratiometric measurements.
• Fastest plate stacker on the market with a plate load / unload time of 6 seconds
