BioTek Synergy H4 Plate Reader

BioTek Synergy H4 Plate Reader

Synergy H4 is a multi-mode, single channel microplate reader that has the capability to detect Fluorescence Intensity, Fluorescence Polarization, Time-Resolved Fluorescence, Luminescence and UV-Visible Absorbance.

Synergy H4:

  • Uses a combination of monochromator , filters, and dichroic mirrors
  • Filter-based system uses 2 light sources for fluorescence
    • A tungsten halogen lamp
    • A xenon flash
  • Top and bottom probes for fluorescence
  • Top-only probe for the filter-based system
  • Absorbance uses monochromator optics
    • Wavelength selection from 230-999nm in 1nm increments
    • Xenon lamp allows for both UV and visible light absorbance measurements
  • Microplate sizes
    • 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96-, 384-, 1536-well sizes

Access to the Synergy H4 Plate Reader requires a short training session and approved access to the room. Please contact Paolo Fagone at pafagone@hsc.wvu.edu or 3-7728 for more information.
