11-Aug-08: With the launch of the Octet® RED System for label-free, real-time kinetic analysis of drug compounds, FortéBio introduced a second system for the analysis of molecular interaction.

11-Aug-08: The unique modular design of this new MDS Analytical Technologies / Molecular Devices washer platform allows you to configure the system for your current microplate format and applications, while at the same time provides an affordable upgrade path when your assay require-ments change. The systems’ 96- and 384-well wash heads are interchangeable to extend the capabilities of the system on a single instrument platform.  The interchangeable heads install in seconds, without the need for tools, calibration or alignment.

10-Aug-07: ForteBio’s Octet family of instruments and related consumables provides scientists with real-time information about biomolecular interactions. The Octet System is comprised of the Octet instrument, Octet software, and biosensors. The system uses Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) technology to enable real-time analysis of biomolecular interactions in recoverable small sample sizes.

2-Mar-07: The Arcturus^XT is the only open, modular microdissection instrument to combine Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) with precise UV laser cutting, offering researchers superior speed, precision and flexibility. The modular instrument is built upon the Nikon TE2000U™ and allows the system utility to expand as research requirements grow.

18-Sep-06: FlexStation 3 is the next- generation multi-detection benchtop reader with integrated fluidics. FlexStation 3 is based on Molecular Devices' popular SpectraMax(R) M5 multi-detection system with the addition of liquid handling. The system was developed for use in research, assay development and lead optimization environments to address applications for researchers performing assay development and small-scale screens.

18-Sep-06: StakMax is an integrated microplate handling system for Molecular Devices' SpectraMax line of microplate readers. The StakMax system enables researchers to run batches of microplates, which increases productivity by requiring less hands- on time during experiments.

3-Apr-06: Molecular Devices introduces the SpectraMax M5^e multi-detection microplate reader, an extension of the popular five-mode SpectraMax M5 system. The tunable SpectraMax M5e is a monochromator-based reader developed in collaboration with Cisbio international (Bagnols-sur-Ceze, France) and is certified to run HTRF® assays. The new system will allow life sciences and drug discovery researchers to increase their productivity by providing them with greater flexibility when using the TRF detection mode.
