BioTek Instruments, a leader in microplate instrumentation technology, is introducing its latest innovations in microplate solutions at the 11th annual Drug Discovery Technology & Development World Congress, August 7-10, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts.

The company will present the technical poster, “The Synergy™ 2, A Novel Approach to Microplate Multi-Detection for HTS and Drug Discovery” in tandem with the product’s global launch. This multi-mode microplate reader was specifically designed to provide research laboratories with performances normally found on high-end HTS instrumentation, while delivering flexibility and efficient cost-control to screening laboratories.

The company will also present the technical poster, “NanoQuot™, A Cost Effective Flexible Nanoliter Dispenser for High Throughput Screening” at the conference. The dispenser, capable of running stand-alone or computer controlled as part of a robotics system, provides accurate and precise dispensing of volumes ranging from 100 nanoliters to 40 microliters in a variety of microplate formats including 1536-well.

The scheduled posters will be included in the Lead Discovery and Lead Optimization, Targeting Disease and Evaluating Disease-Relevant Targets conference session; specific times will be announced through the Drug Discovery Technology & Development World Congress.
