Deerac Fluidics, Labcyte, Promega, BMG Labtech and Corning Sponsor Workshop at SBS Meeting in St. Louis

Deerac Fluidics, Labcyte, Promega, BMG Labtech and Corning are sponsors of a special workshop that will take place prior to the start of SBS. The workshop will be held on Sunday, April 6th from 9:30am - 12:30pm at the America’s Center St. Louis, room 231. The Workshop title is ‘Assay Optimization and Kinase Profiling in uHTS Format’. Breakfast will be served at this event.

Successful kinase screening requires precise liquid handling, robust assays, reliable plates, and sensitive detection methods. With the increasing number of options available to the screener, it is a challenge to choose which are best suited for a particular application. This workshop demonstrates the complementarity of diverse technologies for a 1536-well kinase assay application.

Using a luminescent kinase technology platform from Promega, we demonstrate the optimization of kinase assays with the Deerac Fluidics Equator dispenser, using assay plates from Corning and with luminescent detection by BMG LABTECH's Pherastar. Following assay optimization, the Labcyte Echo^® 555 liquid handler is used for ultra low-volume compound dispensing for screening and compound titration applications. Data show that miniaturization does not compromise quality when lower volume assays are required.
