Hamamatsu offers reliable add-and-read plate readers for drug discovery. These instruments have a built-in liquid handling system and a high-sensitivity camera. The plate reader automatically dispenses compounds or ligands to the entire microplate, and then images the entire microplate using the camera. With Hamamatsu’s FDSS series of add-and-read plate readers, you can get results fast and perform kinetic studies.
