Reproducible results with many functionalities in one device.
Application Area:Measuring reporter luminescence or fluorescence in mammalian cells
"This device has many functionalities in one product. It's ability to measure absorbance (UV-Vis), fluorescence intensity and luminescence with a time-resolved measurement option which is great value for money. You only need to buy 1 device instead of separate pieces of equipment for each type of measurement. Also, the product gives reliable and reproducible results. I usually have 3 independent biological replicates (experiments I perform with live cells on different days from scratch) which generally have very little variation in measurements. Finally, the device is really easy to use with straightforward software that makes it easy to generate a protocol with different steps (setting temperature, shaking, reading, etc.) which can be also saved and used later. This would be the first instrument I'd want if I was establishing a laboratory."

Love the capabilities of the Synergy H1
Application Area:Luciferase assays, fluorescence, and absorbance
"Getting started was a little confusing since I missed the training, but going over the manual and talking with tech support got me started and the more that I use it the easier it is to manipulate the options for optimization of data. Adjustments for readings are fairly easy and straightforward."

I feel this instrument is one of those essentials in a laboratory.
Application Area:Fluorescence assay
"It is very user friendly instrument. Specially for different kinds of assay using all types of plate is excellent. I personally use this instrument very frequently. I genarally use this for MTT assay, fluorogenic kinetics and concentration dependent measurement. I feel this instrument is one of those essentials in a biochemistry/chemical biology laboratory."
