Tecan’s Infinite® M200 PRO reader has helped Californian company Sevident to establish rapid, sensitive immunofluorescence and colorimetric assays based on its proprietary NETs technology.
Emily Stein, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Sevident, explained: “Our original plate reader was quite old and cumbersome to use, and so we decided to invest in a modern, up-to-date instrument more suitable for our multiplex assays, with the flexibility to perform colorimetric, luminescence- and fluorescence-based assays as our project requirements changed. After testing all the major brands, we chose the Infinite M200 PRO for its ease of use, sensitivity and precision. It allows us to change between different types of assay, accommodating our own fluorescence-based development programs and the colorimetric and luminescence-based programs of some of our partners. The flexibility of the reader’s software and the analytical prowess of Magellan™ also significantly influenced our decision to buy the system.
“The Infinite M200 PRO is now one of the most widely used pieces of equipment in our R&D program. It has proved ideal for our purposes, and we are easily achieving sensitivities in the fmol/ml range. The local Tecan staff have been excellent too; the sales team is very knowledgeable, and the technical support has been really good. Everything has worked well, and I am very happy with the reader.”
