FISH-ing for chromosomal anomalies in cancer diagnosis

12 Nov 2025

At the world-leading MD Anderson Cancer Center, BioDot’s CellWriter™ S has transformed cytogenetic workflows. In this case study, learn how automating slide preparation and FISH analysis has reduced manual labor, increased consistency, and sped up cancer diagnostics – helping deliver patient results in days rather than weeks.

CellWriter™S

BioDot Inc.

The CellWriter™ S robotic workstation produces slides for Karyotyping, FISH and FFPE. Utilizing BioDot’s nanoliter dispensing technology (BioJet) with temperature and humidity control, the CellWriter S simplifies and automates the dropping process to efficiently deliver quality spread interphase and metaphase nuclei for analysis. FISHArray™ enables multiplexed FISH assays and eliminates the need for rubber cement when preparing for hybridization.

Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples. Find the best automated liquid handlers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away.
