Cell-Based Assay Automation to Be Presented at SBS Conference

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 01 Apr 2010
A company that designs, manufactures, and sells microplate instrumentation and software plans to present its latest cell-based assay automation at the 16th annual Society for Biomolecular Sciences (SBS) Conference and Exhibition in Phoenix (AZ, USA) on April 11-15, 2010.

Read, wash, dispense, and automation technologies for microplate assays will highlight Biotek Instruments Inc. More...
(Winooski, VT, USA) latest cell-based assay solutions at the conference.

Among them, the EL406 combination offers fast and precise microplate washing and dispensing in 1536-, 384- and 96-well microplate formats. The instrument performs multiple operations for a wide range of cell-based assays, all from a single small footprint, into 96-, 384- and 1536-well densities. By combining microplate washing with three reagent dispensers in one compact instrument, scientists can save time, money, and valuable bench space. EL406 is controlled via the instrument keypad or liquid handling control PC software.

Also on display will be BioTek's product lines demonstrating microplate technology for reading dispensing, and automation.

The company's Precision XS offers single- and multi-channel pipetting together with single- and multichannel bulk reagent dispensing in one compact platform. It fits into a biologic safety cabinet and the Precision power software offers complete control with flexible protocol creation.

The Synergy H4 Hybrid microplate reader combines filter- and monochromator-based optics for increased sensitivity and flexibility in one high-performance instrument. This modular and upgradeable system provides unlimited assay versatility for current and future microplate-based assays. Synergy H4 includes absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence detection technologies for a full range of assay compatibility.

The Epoch System uses monochromator-based optics for continuous wavelength selection from 200-999 nm in 6- to 384-well microplates, 16 2-μL microspots, 1-cm cuvettes, or BioTek's BioCell 1-cm quartz vessel. Preprogrammed and user-generated programs for Synergy H4 and Epoch are controlled via Gen5 data analysis software.

BioTek's products can be easily configured with BioStack automation modules for increased speed, flexibility, and unattended operation.

BioTek instrumentation is used to enable cost-effective quantification of disease relevant molecules in the clinic, to aid in the advancement of life science research, and facilitate the drug discovery process.

The platform combines broad-range amplification using conserved regions of the 16S and 23S rRNA genes with species-specific CRISPR recognition. Fluorescence-coded CRISPR droplets are paired with sample droplets containing amplified products, enabling multiplexed target recognition and signal decoding (Image Credit: Yiwen Yang, Jingsong Xu, Dakang Xu)
