Labcyte Echo 550 Accelerates Drug Discovery at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute

This video describes how acoustic liquid dispensing, using the Labcyte Echo® 550, is being used at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute and is helping to accelerate compound screening. Learn how the technology reduces the volume of compound needed for each experiment, thus enabling compounds to last longer and more data to be produced. The Institute hopes to use acoustic dispensing to help develop compounds that can be used as a start-point to design new targeted therapies for use in a personalized medicine setting.

Access™ Laboratory Workstation

Small-Scale Automation with Large-Scale Results   Access™ laboratory workstations multiply the benefits of the Echo® liquid handler by improving overall assay throughput and reproducibility. With the ability to integrate a variety of devices and the modularity to scale when needed, each workstation offers the flexibility required by frequently-changing assay requirements.  All Access workstations are optimized at install and include all safety mechanisms required for CE compliance. Access workstations use Labcyte Tempo™ automation control software to manage the system configuration and schedule automated routines. Protocols created from Echo® software applications can be imported into Tempo™ software and quickly converted into fully automated routines. Support for a Range of Applications Assay ready plate preparation Lead optimization and secondary screening assays High-throughput gene expression assays Automated protein crystallography setup
