Analyst GT

Multimode Reader

Multimode Assay Flexibility

Analyst GT offers detection based on:

• Fluorescence intensity
• Fluorescence polarization
• Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET), including HTRF
• Luminescence
• Absorbance

Analyst® GT Multimode Reader sets a new benchmark for high throughput screening. Analyst GT delivers unparalleled multimode assay detection performance in a system optimized for seamless integration into the automated HTS environment.

Each assay detection mode has been optimized to deliver enhanced performance in terms of sensitivity, dynamic range, signal-to-noise and cross talk. Analyst GT supports 96-, 384- and 1536-well plate formats.

No-compromise Speed and Sensitivity

Analyst set the standard for no-compromise performance in 384-well plates when it was introduced. Acquest, the first commercially available 1536 multimode reader, brought that performance to high-density microplates. Now Analyst GT builds on that reputation with significantly faster read speeds for all plate formats. Analyst GT achieves this performance with second-generation SmartOptics™, a unique system that selects and configures light sources, filters, detectors, and optical paths to ensure maximum assay performance. Previously, systems that offered 96- through 1536-well compatibility sacrificed read time or sensitivity to read high-density 1536-well plates. Analyst GT improves on Acquest, the benchmark for 1536-well point reading systems, by dramatically increasing read speed without compromising signal-to-noise and signal-to-background.

Over 18,000 Data Points an Hour—As a Workstation

Analyst GT operates as a workstation with its new high-speed bidirectional stacker, feeding plates from a 20-plate or 40-plate magazine. Over twelve 1536-well plates can be read in less than an hour—with world class sensitivity. That's over 150,000 data points in less than 9 hours.

Born to Run with Robots

Analyst GT is designed for seamless integration into robotic environments, including those from Beckman Coulter, Zymark, Thermo CRS and Tecan. Analyst GT hardware and software is built on four years of experience in integrating Analyst systems into track-based, workstation and distributed automation systems. Features include a robust set of Active X controls that can be embedded into almost any robot control system and hardware features like an active-grip mechanism for precise alignment of plates after delivery by the robot hand.
