Xavier, I want to toy with bypassing WinPrep as well, just don't have the time/high enough priority yet unfortunately. I was going to focus on generating the...
Thanks to those who have replied so far to my Teleshake query. I now have details of the serial protocol, but not yet of the connector pinout - if I don't hear...
I was wondering if anyone had experience with a good system for fillling cryo tubes. Most of them that I have found on the market will not keep the cells cold...
Hmm, if they have an active X they are keeping it quite hidden. . .I just did a search of their site for that key word and only one article came up, and it...
Check with Scinomix, they make a custom instrument that handles hundreds of petri dishes. BioTx also makes custom automation for moving and handling petri...

Hi Xavier, I did similar work long time ago on several systems such as Tecan liquid handlers (5xx, 5xxx, 8xxx), Zymark robot systems (Zymate II and XP)...
Have a look at the Zinsser TraySy here: http://www.zinsserna.com/traysy_x.htm The peristaltic pump is constantly circulating and it can be connected to any...
A simple way to fill at least the 500 vial batches, could be to use a multi head capper/decapper, and a multichannel pipette or even better a peristaltic pump...
Dear all, thank you for your feedback. I am going to contact PerkinElmer about this ActiveX biorobotdude mentioned and will get back to you if I get anything...
I'm looking for a bench top, low to medium throughput automated print and apply system for Cryo vials and microfuge tubes. We need to label ~ 100 tubes of...
Another to add to the evaluation: http://www.twdtradewinds.com/psid/etch/cryovials.php I haven't used it, but it looks good and if I had a lot of Cryo vials to...
Really I currently do not have a packard so I cannot check. I know the pre janus EP3's were written in VB which was easy and I could swear that I referenced...
Hi, thanks for the info on the Janus. . .we have those but I haven't looked at what can be done with those yet . .encouraging though from what you've posted....
I'm working through a protocol to dry dispense a set of assay ready plates. All the compounds are in DMSO. I'd like to dispense 5 assay-ready plates from a...
Jonathan, Aspirate an airgap (couple of uL's) and then 3.5 - 4 uL compound/DMSO from your source plate. Dispense back 0.5 - 1.0 uL to your source well (in...
Hello, 0.5ul is a challenge to dispense with a typical air displacement system (despite what vendors may say!). Try this: * Aspirate 3ul of sample in DMSO *...

If they are all copies, you're best bet is to do the following 0.5uL air 5uL mother plate asiprate dispense back to the mother 1uL (leaving 4 in the tips)..may...
Hi Dry dispensing 0.5ul is at the limit of most air displacement systems, however try this as it should work with the lower volume tips. Just submerge the tips...
Jonathan, The key to dispensing small volumes of DMSO to multiple plates is to fill the tip completely, then dispense a small volume back into the source...
As you have discovered, what you describe is difficult to do. The first issue is that most 384-disposable tip instruments are not accurate at 0.5ul. The next...

I am going to recommend acoustic dispensing anyway. By the time you purchase a conventional liquid handler and pay for tips, in a few years you have the same...

Dear Colleagues Does anyone have experiences with the lab on the chip technology and/or e.g. Raindance? Who is using that in reality for routinely cellular...
All, I work in a production lab that uses vacuum manifolds. We are currently using five vacuum pumps with five manifolds apiece. This is getting unwieldy and...
