Product news

BMB Labtech are pleased to be sponsoring some exciting events at the ELRIG – Drug Discovery 2009 meeting in Liverpool. Visit Booth A5 and see the latest innovations in microplate reading technology including the New Gold Standard HTS Microplate Reader, the PHERAstar FS. Applications Scientists will also be available to discuss your assay needs.

Join them at one of their ‘New Technologies’ Workshops, either on Monday 7th at 13.00 (Seminar Room 6) or Tuesday 8th at 8.30am (Seminar Room 5) to hear about the latest applications from Invitrogen, DiscoveRx, Bellbrook Labs, KBiosciences and CIS bio. You can also find out more about the PHERAstar FS and take advantage of a range of exclusive special offers available to workshop attendees.

BMG LABTECH is also delighted to be sponsoring the evening drinks reception. This will be held in the main exhibition hall on Monday evening from 17.15 to 19.15.

We look forward to seeing you at ELRIG – Drug Discovery 2009, in Liverpool.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications. Find the best microplates for your lab in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.
