DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal is to obtain funds for an automated high throughput analysis system for the instruments core at the Salk Institute. The instrument system will comprise of an Eppendorf epMotion 5075 VAC-TMX high throughput DNA preparation workstation, an Eppendorf epMotion 5075 LH liquid handling station for liquid dispensing and assay set up, and a Molecular Devices FlexStation 3 multi- mode detector for various cell based and in vitro assays. The requested high throughput analyses system is needed to complement the strong chemical library screening core at the Salk Institute. We will use this system to generate and use libraries of cDNA and shRNA reagents for genomics screening. The high throughput genomic DNA purification system will allow preparation of libraries of cDNA or shDNA constructs for cell based assays. The liquid handling station will dispense the cDNA, shDNA and lentiviral particles into mammalian cells. The multimode detector plate reader will measure absorbance, fluorescence intensity, luminescence, fluorescence polarization and time-resolved fluorescence. The Flexstation 3 plate reader will enable researchers at the Salk Institute to use fluorescence based dyes to measure rapid changes in intracellular calcium level or of membrane potential in a high throughput manner. The combination of these instruments will offer a powerful yet flexible platform for use of genomics approaches to accelerate understanding of biological processes in multiple diverse laboratories. We have identified 10 user laboratories for immediate use of the system for various assay development, screening and post-screening follow-up. The proposed instrument system will be integrated to the existing Salk Institute instrument cores. A core instrument use committee will ensure that the instrument system is operated and maintained by trained personnel. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposal is to obtain funds for a robotic system at the Salk Institute. This instrument system will enable researchers to screen through thousands of biological samples with high degree of accuracy, reproducibility and speed to understand how genes and proteins function in healthy and diseased cells.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是为索尔克研究所仪器核心的自动化高通量分析系统获得资金。该仪器系统将包括一个Eppendorf epMotion 5075 VAC-TMX高通量DNA制备工作站，一个Eppendorf epMotion 5075 LH液体处理工作站，用于液体分配和分析设置，以及一个Molecular Devices FlexStation 3多模式检测器，用于各种细胞和体外分析。所要求的高通量分析系统需要补充强大的化学文库筛选核心在索尔克研究所。我们将使用该系统生成cDNA和shRNA试剂文库并用于基因组学筛选。高通量基因组DNA纯化系统将允许cDNA文库或shDNA构建的细胞为基础的分析制备。液体处理站将cDNA、shDNA和慢病毒颗粒分配到哺乳动物细胞中。多模检波器读卡器将测量吸光度、荧光强度、发光、荧光偏振和时间分辨荧光。Flexstation 3平板阅读器将使索尔克研究所的研究人员能够使用基于荧光的染料以高通量的方式测量细胞内钙水平或膜电位的快速变化。这些仪器的组合将为基因组学方法的使用提供一个强大而灵活的平台，以加速对多个不同实验室生物过程的理解。我们已经确定了10个用户实验室，可以立即使用该系统进行各种分析开发、筛选和筛选后随访。拟议的仪器系统将集成到现有的索尔克研究所仪器核心。核心仪器使用委员会将确保仪器系统由受过培训的人员操作和维护。
