CyBio will be showing the Compound Vario system at Drug Discovery 2009, Liverpool. Widely used throughout Pharma and Academia for compound transfer the system comprises a multichannel capillary head, stackers to enhance throughput and automated washing/barcode reading as required. Visit booth C6 to find out more enter a prize drawer to win an iPod touch.

The Capillary head’s glass tips ensure accurate delivery from compound stock concentrations to all plate formats reproducibly. The complete range of heads are user-swoppable and self-aligning without the need for tools, or teaching. The 96 and 384 capillary formats span 25nl to 1ul.

The disposable pipette heads cover a range from 0.2ul up to 250ul. They too are self aligning and can be used in the same Vario system for reagent addition with no need to move plates to another liquid handler.

Talk to us at the show to find out how the Vario can help transfer Compounds Direct from Stock to assay plates. Also talk to us about CyBio’s Customised Integration Division.

Full walk away automation of all stages and containment of biochemical and cell based assays can be customised with our project management team to ensure you design a compact system to suit your throughput, lab space and budget. See examples of liquid handlers integrated to incubation, washing and readers at the CyBio stand and meet our applications experts on hand to explain the benefits of our powerful new Scheduling Software.

CyBio Well Vario

Analytik Jena GmbH+Co. KG

The CyBio Well Vario is CyBio´s automated, simultaneous pipetting platform which can be equipped with 11 interchangeable pipetting heads to offer highest pipetting precision and flexibility in a compact design. A large variety of disposable tips, highly precise ceramic tips or glass capillaries allow liquid transfers in a broad volume range of 4 orders of magnitude (25 nl up to 250 µl) on one pipetting system. 14 different capillary magazines are available for CyBio´s Capillary Head, which is especially designed for precise low-volume compound transfers (25—1000 nl). The CyBio Well vario is compatible with many specific accessories and can be adapted to every screening environment to create powerful liquid handling platforms for today and tomorrow. Optional stacker or dispenser integration together with the involvement of versatile peripheral devices can be easily implemented. Challenging liquid handling applications like working in high density microplate formats or in HTS environments can be easily achieved. CyBio´s outstanding customer service and application support is a well appreciated inherent part of every CyBio Well vario system. CyBio Well Vario Features: Extremely flexible through enormous volume spectrum Highest precision in the whole volume range Unique pipetting technology prevents cross contamination Easy application set-up using CyBio Composer software Saves reagent costs with accurate low volume pipetting
