BioTek Synergy MX SMATCL Multi-Mode Microplate Reader with Monochromator and Quadruple Grating
Product Description
The BioTek Synergy MX SMATCL Multi-Mode Microplate Reader is a versatile laboratory instrument designed for comprehensive life-science research applications, including biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology workflows. It integrates a fully monochromator-based optical system featuring a quadruple grating architecture for exceptionally fine wavelength tuning across multiple detection modes: absorbance, fluorescence intensity (top read only), and luminescence.
Key technical capabilities:
- Detection modes: Absorbance (230–999 nm, 1 nm increments), fluorescence intensity (250–900 nm), luminescence with low-noise photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors.
- Microplate compatibility: Supports 1- to 384-well plates, including PCR formats, and Take3 Multi-Volume Plates with 2 µL microspots for low volume assay workflows essential in gene editing and bioprocessing research.
- Read types: Endpoint, kinetic, spectral scanning, and well-area scanning for versatile experimental designs.
- Optical precision: Absorbance accuracy <1% at 2.0 OD, repeatability <0.5% at 2.0 OD, dynamic range 0–4.0 OD; luminescence dynamic range <6 decades, with sensitivity detecting as low as 10 amol ATP.
- Automation features: Automated Z-height adjustment with 100 µm resolution to compensate for varying plate heights and liquid volumes, enhancing assay reliability.
- Flexibility: Variable bandpass selection and cuvette port for standard 1-cm pathlength cuvettes enrich experimental options.
- Temperature control & agitation: Precise incubation from Ambient +4°C to 65°C and plate shaking support live-cell imaging and enzyme kinetics studies.
- Software integration: Controlled by BioTek Gen5 software, facilitating streamlined data collection, advanced analysis, exporting, and reporting—crucial for high-throughput biomanufacturing and molecular cloning pipelines.
Note: The SMATCL model does not include bottom fluorescence reading or a dual reagent dispenser.
The Synergy MX SMATCL is an essential microplate reader widely adopted in biomedical engineering, fluorescence analysis, live-cell assays, and molecular cloning workflows, providing robust, reproducible data for researchers specializing in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics.
