Synergy™ H1 is a flexible monochromator-based multi-mode microplate reader that can be turned into a high-performance hybrid system with the addition of a filter-based optical module. The monochromator optics use a third generation quadruple grating design that works at any excitation or emission wavelength with a 1 nm step. This system supports top and bottom fluorescence intensity, UV-visible absorbance and high performance luminescence detection. It is the ideal system for all the standard microplate applications found in life science research laboratories. The filter module is a completely independent add-on that includes its own light source, and a high performance dichroicbased wavelength selection system.

With its very high optical efficiency, this module supports advanced detection modes such as fluorescence polarization, time-resolved fluorescence and filtered luminescence (e.g. BRET). A dual reagent injection system is available to automate inject/read assays such as ion channels assays or flash luminescence assays (e.g. luciferase or ATP assays). To create the ideal environment for live-cell assays, the Gas Controller for Synergy H1 allows control and monitoring of CO2 and O2, along with user-adjustable orbital shaking and advanced 4-Zone™ temperature control.
