14 SPECIAL FOCUS: MICROPLATE READERS
plus humidity level monitoring and plate lid handling provide an ideal environment for cell-based and other assays, with minimal manual intervention. BioSpa 8’s robotic arm

moves microplates, cell culture dishes and flasks between its environment-controlled drawers and integrated instruments. Te system is compact enough to fit within a biosafety enclosure for added protection essential to long term live cell assays, including 3D cell culture studies and other live cell assays. BioSpa 8 is also suited for temperature sensitive and controlled-environment biochemical assays.

control and monitoring,
Te BioSpa system software integrates with the linked instrument’s software for efficiency and programming ease, precisely controlling all operations for short or long-term uninterrupted runs. Customisable text or email notifications relieve the need for onsite monitoring, and session timelines and environmental reports allow quick scrutiny of the process and system status for added confidence.
Fast and functional Finally, BioTek also recently introduced its Synergy Neo2 microplate reader. Tis is an advanced, high-performance, high-speed plate reader that incorporates the firm’s
to 65°C and variable shaking support live cell assays; cell-based detection is optimised with direct bottom illumination. Barcode-labelled filter cubes help streamline workflows and limit errors, and the available BioStackNeo plate stacker is extremely fast, making it ideal for high throughput requirements.
Hybrid Technology with its independent optical paths that ensure uncompromised performance. Continuously variable bandwidth quadruple monochromators, sensitive high transmission, filter-based optics and up to four PMTs provide ultra-fast measurements with excellent results. Advanced environment controls, including CO2
/O2 control, incubation
