Agilent BioTek Gen5 Software for Detection

The Gen5 software facilitates an easy and fast multiplexed analysis for experiments in a multi-well format. With this application, it is possible to analyze fluorescence, luminescence, and absorbance signals simultaneously. Unfortunately, the software is still quite expensive. We use the software to analyze single-cell 2D as well as 3D co-cultures measuring the viability, motility, cell death, and other biological measures. The automated output helps to obtain the data fast without post-experiment data processing and image analysis.

Gen5 software is really easy to use and only takes me a few minutes to train up new users. Our after sales experience has been really good and they always respond immediately to any requests. The information I received before I purchased the system was very comprehensive and allowed me to compare all the specs with other models on the market at the time. Having a demo disk was really valuable because it allowed me to trial the software to make sure it met our needs. The online support and updates, and the TekTalk emails I have received have also been very useful and informative, and have helped my understanding of the full capabilities of the instrument and software. I have already recommended this product to colleagues on more than one occasion.

This is definitely a 5 star software! It is very easy to use for running our BioTek plate reader and for programming results analysis. Instant raw results transformation is very convenient and in a minute you get your results in a mode ready to use. The tech service is excellent and if they do not have the answer right away, they will find a way and get back to you with an idea for a new program/analysis. I would definitely recommend this software in an academic environment where many junior trainees are evolving.

The repeatability of fluorescent value in parallel experiments are poor.

It is the best investment I made in the lab. The versatility and the number of results we can obtain with the microplate reader is so good there isn’t another piece of equipment that can compete. Right now other labs come to use it too. We have other microplate reader in core equipment, but by far this is the equipment of choice for my colleagues.

It is a great work horse for the applications we use it for. It’s resilient and has excellent quality data along with standards.

This software is extremely powerful, and is capable of a wide range of assays and data analysis. A fairly significant time investment is required in order to effectively program the machine beyond the basic templates. After sales support is good for most things, but can be lacking when it comes to rarer situations and questions.
