Rating:
Application Area:HTS for drugs (70.000 compounds) and gene function (RNAi & CRISPR-Cas) This detection system nicely bridges the gap between a plate reader and imaging systems like automated microscopes. It combines multi parameter screening (all kinds of fluorescence detection) with the features of image based screening (cytometric measurements) in one machine. Coupling kinetic measurements over long time periods to injection of reagents at the most effective time points within the reader. Ideal system to be used in assay optimisation and in screening. Nice graphical interface for assay set up and a lot of nice analysis features like confluence or viability measurements.

Proof of concept for automated Fire Monkey High Molecular Weight (HMW) DNA extraction/size selection process in multi-well filter plate format validated by sequencing
Hands-free automated protocol on a bespoke Tecan Fluent 780 robotic liquid handler integrated with a Rotanda 460 robotic centrifuge
Extraction produces library-ready homogenous, long-length DNA (average 106kb) for short- and long-read DNA sequencing
Resultant sequence quality equivalent to manually-extracted DNA: >30Gb at N50 longer than 30kb
Automated DNA extraction enables further growth in high-throughput DNA sequencing applications with estimated market to >$50bn over the next 10 years
