BioTek Instruments is a worldwide leader in developing and distributing innovative life science instrumentation. Founded in 1968 by Dr. Norman Alpert, the company has grown to provide world-class tools and equipment that support uninterrupted life science research workflows.
BioTek is headquartered in Winooski, Vermont, and is currently led by Briar Alpert (Chairman and CEO). First beginning with manufacturing test and calibration devices, BioTek now designs, develops, and supplies a comprehensive product line that includes:
For BioTek and its teams (which include customer care advisors, in-house and field-based application scientists, and service and support teams), the primary objective is to maximize customer satisfaction in the value of their products.
As a member of the Agilent family, the company is working on developing solutions for scientists that can provide better, deeper, and improved insights across a wide range of cell analysis applications. In addition to providing tools for cell analysis, the company also offers training and assay optimization services for its products.
In this article, we’ll review BioTek’s complete portfolio and its applications in a wide range of life science areas.
BioTek offers a range of high-quality plate readers, microplate washers and dispensers, software, cell imaging equipment, and liquid handling and automation tools with enhanced performance and flexibility.
BioTek’s robotic imagers provide dramatic images, montages, z-stacks, and time-lapse sequences that bring life to your science. It has different lines of cell imaging and microscopy products including its Lionheart Automated Microscopes, the Cytation C10 Confocal Imaging Reader, Cytation Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Readers, and the BioSpa Live Cell Analysis System. All these imaging systems offer the best assistance in a range of microscopy workflows.
BioTek supplies some of the most versatile, flexible, and easy-to-use absorbance and multi-mode microplate readers. They are utilized in a wide range of life science experiments including ELISA (an antibody-based reaction) and high-throughput detection.
Its Gen5 and liquid handling control (LHC) software add flexibility and power to your imaging, detection, and liquid handling workflows. Its LHC software provides full control over microplate washing, dispensing operations, and stacking operations. Its Gen5 software allows you to easily control all imaging and detection systems, leading to more reliable and validated data. Both software are available in several editions and may be integrated with other automated systems.
BioTek’s microplate washers and dispensers automate and support a range of life science workflows, including magnetic bead assays, MSD automation, and immunocytochemistry.
BioTek’s robotics tools and equipment help automate your lab workflows, leading to increased work and process efficiency. Its automation solutions can integrate well with any of its instruments including dispensers, washers, imagers, or readers. Some products in this category include its BioSpa 8 Automated Incubator and the BioStack Microplate Stacker
BioTek has an extensive range of instruments for a variety of life science workflows, including cell analysis, cell imaging, multi-mode microplate detection, and any other assay automation.
