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...
Hi Reed, I had some experience with Tigerpaw, www.tigerpawsoftware.com <http://www.tigerpawsoftware.com/> , circa 2002. It was a basic off the shelf package...

Hello all! I'm writing to ask for your help. I'm working on getting together the approximately 100 volunteers we need to put on the FIRST Robotics Competition...
The subject pretty well covers it: I'm looking for information on the financial consequences of implementing lab automation systems (robotics, LIMS, ELN, etc.)...
I was hoping there may be some comment or suggestions on the experience using RFID tags vs 2D coded labels for sample handling in cryogenic storage conditions...
Dear Vance, In my opinion, RFID is a technology that is ideally suited to laboratory sample management. This is particularly so for biosamples where the...
