Harnessing the natural potential of venom with the VOYAGER pipette
Venom – found in numerous species of reptiles, invertebrates, and even fish – can cause intense pain and even paralysis but, paradoxically, can be used as a medication to actually reduce pain. UK-based Venomtech® is harnessing the power of naturally-produced venoms from a collection of nearly 200 species of spiders, scorpions, and centipedes to generate compound libraries for drug discovery.
The team at Venomtech is using our VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipette to increase the production efficiency for their screening assays.
Each species has a unique venom containing several hundred different components. The library of compounds available to us using venom is therefore enormous – and we are only just scratching the surface. Our core product is our Targeted-Venom Discovery Array™ (T-VDA), which includes venoms from 12 species selected according to the target of interest. Each venom is fractionated by 2D
