Synergy Neo is a patented HTS multi-mode microplate reader designed specifically for today’s screening and core laboratories. Neo has all the features expected in an HTS screening instrument, including multiple parallel detectors for ultra-fast measurements and a dedicated filter-based optical system for live cell assays. With a transfer time of about 6 seconds per plate, Neo’s available plate stacker is the fastest on the market, allowing walk-away automation for short- or long-term assays. Synergy Neo also meets today’s diverse assay requirements by incorporating features such as a powerful 100 mW laser-based excitation source for Alpha assays, a unique patented hybrid optical design, advanced temperature control to 65 °C, orbital and linear shaking. Ease of use and user confidence are key to the design of Synergy Neo’s unique filter cubes that are barcoded for positive filter ID – limiting the possibility of errors and streamlining the workflow, while an available camera-based barcode reader can scan both 1D and 2D barcode-labeled plates. The outstanding functionality of Synergy Neo is controlled by the powerful, yet easy to use, Gen5™ Data Analysis Software. If you are involved in the HTS screening world, Synergy Neo was designed just for you.

The Waters 2475 Fluorescence Detector offers unsurpassed sensitivity for quantifying low concentrations of target compounds, whether naturally fluorescent or derivatized with a fluorescent tag. The 2475 FLR Detector sets the standard for fluorescence method development with 3D and “on-the-fly” spectral scanning for determining the optimal emission and excitation wavelengths, and has the ability to monitor up to four independent wavelength pairs.

• Input: 115v 60Hz 3 Amp

Description:

This compact device is the ideal external light source for fluorescence excitation in microscopy. Coupling is preferably achieved via liquid light guides. The average service life of a lamp is 2,000 hours. The optimised internal air flow cools the lamp and enables quiet operation. A resettable operating hour meter shows lamp operating hours. The brightness of the lamp output can be varied in 5 steps (0-100%) by means of a mechanical dimmer unit. An ultra-fast shutter opens or closes after activation with approx. 6 ms. The shutter is actuated by means of an appliance switch, but is also possible externally by means of a remote control input or CAN-BUS connection. This compact light source is available as a VIS or UV version in addition to a version that permits the coupling of multi-pin liquid light guides.
