Brooks Life Science Systems Introduces Next Generation Products at SLAS2013

31 Dec 2012

Product news

Preview the next generation Brooks -20⁰C and -80⁰C automated storage systems, as well as the new Plate Auditor and the world’s fastest imaging cytometer, the Celigo S, in Booth #527 at SLAS, Orlando, FL 12-16 January 2013.

In addition to exhibiting, Brooks will host lunchtime tutorials and will participate in the Late Night with LRIG - Rapid Fire Session. The first tutorial takes place on Monday, January 14th at 12:30pm and will feature the Celigo® Imaging Cytometer. The tutorial is entitled “Applications in Cell Line Development and Tumor Spheroid Analysis.” The second tutorial will focus on Automated Sample Management and will cover “Maintaining and Tracking Sample Integrity from Tubes to Plates.” This tutorial takes place on Tuesday, January 15th at 12:30pm. The Rapid Fire session occurs at 7pm on Monday 14th and will concentrate on the “Quality Monitoring of Compounds in Plates”.

Join them at these tutorials to learn how Brooks’ products are being used in the field with presentations from Genentech, The Institute of Cancer Research and The Scripps Research Institute.

Brooks Life Science Systems is a leading worldwide provider of automation solutions for compound and biological sample storage and management with an installed base of approximately 200 systems across the globe, including at most of the top 20 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Please stop by booth #527 to learn about the latest developments in automated storage, cell imaging and sample auditing from the leader in automated sample management.

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.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process.  SLASThe Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) is an organization focused on laboratory automation, high-throughput screening, and biotechnology innovation. SLAS promotes scientific advancements through conferences, publications, and industry collaborations. CytometryCytometry is a broad term for the quantitative analysis of cells and cell systems. The most popular methods to study cytometry are flow cytometry and image cytometry.Cell ImagingCell imaging can be achieved using a number of techniques including confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and light sheet microscopy.Storage Solutions
