Precise and Robust Dosing Automation of Solid Samples

Product news

The new subsidiary of the laboratory automation specialist CyBio, the CyBio Robotics GmbH (formerly accelab) offers a very comfortable and compact system for the automation of dosing solid samples.

With the system, based on the powder dispenser Microdos, an unbeatable spectrum of solids can be dosed without supervision. That means for the user a higher throughput with less input and greater time for more demanding tasks in the laboratory.

The outgoing samples are identified by means of a barcode reader and are led by a robot through the solid dosing system. There, the samples, like powder, granulate and other hard substances are quickly and precisely dosed into the target hollow-ware. The dosage range can be defined from the milligram to the gram with an accuracy of .1 mg.

The hollow-ware, which is also determined by a barcode, is placed on an outgoing rack after the dosing for further processing.

With this bench-top system CyBio Robotics offers not only a very compact and robust solution, but also an extremely flexible one as well. As many samples as desired may be dosed from an outgoing material; or as any samples and mixtures from various output materials can be prepared. Thereby, the fully-automated system guarantees a constant quality of results.

Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Compound AnalysisCompound analysis is used to discover specific compounds that could be promising candidates for pharmaceutical use. This potential is identified when compounds have the desired effect, such as interaction with a target protein, during high throughput screening.
