New Instrument Promises Increased High-Throughput Screening

When integrated with Roche's LightCycler 480 system, a multi-well, plate-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis platform, the system doubles the throughput screening capacity for highly accurate detection of nucleic acids and genotyping.

"We continuously strive to provide our customers with proven technology that simplifies processes within the lab without compromising accuracy and precision,” said Manfred Baier, head of the applied science division of Roche Diagnostics. "Caliper's Twister II is the industry standard for plate and tip loading. Our customers have confidence in this technology so it was a natural fit to work with Caliper to offer an integrated solution.”

"Researchers are constantly faced with improving workflow and automating tasks while maximizing the benefit gained by implementing technologies in the lab,” said Jean-Louis Rufener, vice president, worldwide marketing and sales, Caliper Life Sciences. "We teamed with Roche to meet this challenge and provide laboratories with proven technologies, from industry leaders, at competitive prices.”
