8 Jan 2007

Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has announced the addition of the Thermo Scientific Multidrop® Combi SMART to its extensive Multidrop range of bulk reagent dispensers.

The Multidrop Combi SMART adds an advanced inbuilt tracking system to the Multidrop Combi, which shows the exact lifetime status of the dispensing cassette. This provides improved QC and traceability as well as instantaneous indication of cassette type, last calibration date and total usage, greatly enhancing the user’s efficiency and reporting ability. The Thermo Scientific Multidrop Combi SMART combines these benefits with precise, high-speed dispensing, robot compatibility, easy set-up and dependable operation, which generate immediate productivity gains for users in pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories worldwide.

The Thermo Scientific Multidrop Combi SMART offers the same excellent versatility to meet all bulk reagent dispensing requirements as the Multidrop Combi. The modern graphical user interface makes it easy to select dispensing parameters on all standard plate formats (96-1536), with automatic plate height adjustment. Multidrop Combi SMART’s precise dispensing means reproducible results over an unparalleled volume range of 0.5-2500 µl. Full integration with a range of robotic platforms ensures high throughput and, together with the Thermo Scientific RapidStak™ stacker, Multidrop Combi SMART forms the most reliable bench-top automation solution for the bulk dispensing of all standard buffers and reagents, as well as higher viscosity solutions and viable cells.

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.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.
