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."

CO2 regulator is well sealed, leading to a big loss/waste of CO2
Application Area:Analyze UV absorption such as in MTT assay
"Very sensitive to low concentration solution. Very easy to learn and use Can measure very low volume (ca. <10 ul)"

The monochromator optics uses a third generation quadruple grating design that allows working at any excitation or emission wavelength with a 1 nm step. This system supports top and bottom fluorescence intensity, UV-visible absorbance and high performance luminescence detection. It is the ideal system for all the standard microplate applications found in life science research laboratories.
The filter module is a completely independent add-on that includes its own light source, and a high performance dichroic-based wavelength selection system. With its very high optical efficiency, this module supports advanced detection modes such as Fluorescence Polarization, Time-Resolved Fluorescence and filtered luminescence (e.g. BRET). A dual reagent injection system is available to automate inject/read assays such as ion channels assays or flash luminescence assays (e.g. luciferase or ATP assays).
