Does anybody so something similar? I found the most I could dispense was 2-3uL, otherwise the drop was too big and flooded the top of the plate. I could...
Has anyone used, or does anyone know, where I might be able to find slightly wider-bore tips for use on the Biomek FX 384-channel head (similar to the Beckman...
The Title got cut off, should have included that I am working with a Flexdrop for PU, I mean PE. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi John, Phenix Research (www.phenixresearch.com) has 96 channel wide bore tips for the FX, and they also have extended reach tips that increase the volume...
Hi, I posted here in November with some systematic colour changes in an automated ELISA. We're pretty new to automated ELISA and I now wondering if systematic...

Hello, It should not be an effect of automated per se - I assume that you are doing manual ELISAs and that doesn't show the same issue? Try doing a manual...
Hi Matt, Sorry to hear about your troubles. I can say that, no, systematic errors are not a permanent feature of automated ELISA assays, but they are...

Hi Matt - Sounds like a timing gradient to me. Consistent ELISA results require all plate wells to be handled as identically as possible, not just in liquid...
I want to readout the values from the pressure sensors on the 1 ml channels of a Hamilton Starlet after an aspirate step. I know how to do this from the...
I wanted to find out if anyone knows anything about Cerionx, Inc. and their plasma tip cleaner? I tried calling the number on their website (www.cerionx.com)...
Hello, Cerionx has gone out of business but Tecan does have units available. If you would like to discuss if your application needs would be satisfied by the...

Hello, This is a bit off topic but I hope someone can help - a company I used to work in a long time ago gave a course which was entitled something like 'IT...
Hello, does anyone have experience with the Synergy2 plate reader. We are planning in upgrading our plate reader. As a option the Biotek reader came up. I only...

Hi everyone, I am trying to get a sense of the prevalence of HTS amenable qPCR machines in core screening groups in both the academic and industry setting. My...
Dan, I know of at least two HTS amenable qPCR instruments: the AppliedBio 7900 and the Roche LightCycler 480. We have integrated both of these units with our...
This Spring the JALA will include an article by Neil Benn and myself on a "Discussion of Open Source Methodologies in Laboratory Automation". As part of that...
Hi Dan, There are quite a few qPCR HTS amenable instruments, obviously ABI 7900, Roche Lightcycler, Corbett real time instrument, also BioRad realtime MJ...
Dan, There is a relatively high throughput qPCR platform developed a few years ago by BioTrove (http://www.biotrove.com/index.html) that uses established...

Thanks. Care to weigh-in on ABI / Invitrogen / Life Tech? I hear the new company, "Life Tech," bought all the best technologies in the industry, and...
The Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA) and the Laboratory Robotics Interest Group (LRIG) are excited to announce the 15 companies who will present in...
It depends on what you mean by HTS. Almost all qPCR (and plain-old PCR) machines are 96- or 384-well format as standard (only recently have 'personal' 24- and...
Thanks for mentioning LabAutomation2009 Andy. Just a quick note. I'm just out of a meeting with our Career Center team. At present we will be posting 110...

Hello i have a question concerning aliquotting a 15 ul rxn into a 384 well via 3 x 5 ul aliquots: i'm having a problem keeping the reagants in the well. in...
Don, Could you include a few more details on what you are trying to do. What liquid type is it, how viscous, coming from what (96 or reservoir), what kind of...
Hello, A bit off the subject, but do any of the service groups that monitor LRIG use an "Off the Shelf" Field Service Software? We are investigating...
