BioTek Synergy HTX S1A Absorbance Microplate Reader with UV-Vis Monochromator
Product Description
The BioTek Synergy HTX S1A is a benchtop, automated absorbance microplate reader designed for precise UV-Vis absorbance measurements across multiple microplate formats (6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-well). Featuring a monochromator-based wavelength selection system with continuous tuning from 200 to 999 nm in 1 nm increments, this reader supports endpoint, kinetic, multiwavelength, and spectral scanning assays essential for molecular diagnostics, biotechnology research, and bioprocessing workflows.
Key technical specifications include:
- Wavelength accuracy: ± 2 nm with repeatability of ± 0.2 nm
- Dynamic range: Up to 4.000 OD for high sensitivity optical density measurements
- Light source: Xenon flash lamp enabling robust UV and visible light absorbance detection
- Temperature control: Unique 4-zone system adjustable from 4°C above ambient to 50°C, ensuring stable conditions for kinetic enzyme assays and biopharmaceutical applications
- Shaking modes: Linear and orbital shaking with user-programmable adjustable intensities for enhanced sample mixing during live-cell assays and ELISA protocols
- Software integration: Controlled via BioTek’s Gen5 PC software, facilitating advanced data acquisition and analysis critical in gene editing and synthetic biology research
- Compatible with the BioStack Microplate Stacker for automated plate handling, supporting high-throughput screening applications widely adopted in molecular cloning workflows and biomanufacturing pipelines.
This Synergy HTX absorbance microplate reader is essential for researchers performing nucleic acid quantitation, protein analysis, enzyme kinetics, and other applications requiring precise optical density measurements in life sciences and clinical diagnostics. Its flexibility and accuracy make it a pivotal instrument in biotechnology laboratories focused on molecular biology and bioprocess optimization.
