While fully manual operations can be built around microplate formats, doing anything substantive without a microplate reader is virtually impossible. Detection modes define the instrument’s experimental capabilities.
Problem: A laboratory scientist’s time is extremely precious, with a multitude of tasks to complete in order to produce meaningful data. With the vast majority of drug discovery research facilities and a growing number of academic laboratories now utilizing automated workflows, it is essential that they can be designed and set up with ease, regardless of their complexity.
Biochemical and cell based assays using a microplate reader provide quantitative data on ex vivo cell behavior, while viewing cells with a microscope allows researchers to see cellular and intra-cellular processes via fixed cells or with live cell imaging. Both methods are equally important to life science research and the drug discovery process. Together, these methods provide valuable, content rich data that otherwise requires the expense of multiple instrumentation.
Easily measures live, cellular fluorescent protein assays.

Its modular architecture offers complete flexibility, enabling the Infinite M1000 PRO to be tailored to individual application needs and budgets.
Sometimes it takes a village to teach a robot.
Mechanical sample lysis is rapidly becoming the preferred sample preparation method in life science labs for the isolation of DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites and other small molecules because the elimination of chemicals, enzymes, and detergents minimizes the introduction of potential inhibitors to downstream processes. The FastPrep-24 5G™ (Fig. 1) is the newest innovation in beat-beaters and produces the fastest lysis of even the most difficult samples.
