Evolution of a High-End Dispenser

19 Jul 2007

Product news

The new generation of CyBio’s flexible assay processor CyBi®-NanoJetFAP is the ideal assay workstation for assay development or cell based assays. It enables not only fast but also flexible small volume dispensing down to 50 nL. Cell seeding and a very flexible assay reagent dispensing can be easily done within a single run.

The new CyBi®-NanoJetFAP comes with a bundle of additional functionality with focus on robustness and user-friendliness. Purposive modifications such as integrated calibration wizard for optical and gravimetrical calibrations or the new channel managing module make the system state-of-the-art. In addition, extra handling flexibility has been established with a new combination tool for different types of reservoirs to improve the performance.

Whether a flexible assay processing workstation or a high speed screening system is needed, the CyBi®-NanoJetFAP can work in both areas with the same perfection to generate robust data caused by the 8 or 16 individual reagent lines. Thus, assay development including “design of experiments” can be done with the same type of instrument, which is used for a screen.

Due to its unique pressure and valve system, the CyBi®-NanoJetFAP is able to dispense cells and beads with a minimum of sedimentation effects.

Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.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.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
