Robotic liquid handling and screening - automation of biological assays is supported through robotic liquid handling and plate reader systems.
Equipment
- Hamilton Star Liquid Handler - an 8 and 96 channel robotic liquid handler dispensing volumes between 1ul and 1 ml into a range of different plate formats (eg 96 and 384 well plates). On deck barcode reading, cooling and shaking are all possible. The system is very flexible and is run by a dedicated technician.
- Perkin Elmer Envision plate reader - a high sensitivity plate reader with large range of filters. Capable of fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarisation, FRET and TR-FRET measurements along with luminescence, and absorption and alpha screen measurements in both top and bottom read modes. In situ injectors allow for rapid kinetic measurements.
