Acoustic liquid handling robotics for bioactive compound discovery

该项目旨在使用Labcyte Echo 550声学分配器和组合软件来提供复杂的检测准备筛选。Echo是1536孔微孔板的唯一液体处理分配器，将允许澳大利亚研究人员开发检测小型化。机器人将通过提高分析的复杂性、准确性和可重复性，同时降低成本，为我国的研究人员提供独特的竞争优势。预期的好处将推动复杂生物现象中涉及的分子机制的阐明。这样做的好处是巨大的，包括减少测试化合物和试剂，从而降低实验室成本，节省细胞并提高数据质量。

This project aims to use a Labcyte Echo 550 acoustic dispenser with Combination Software to deliver sophisticated assay-ready screening. The Echo is the only liquid handling dispenser for 1536-well microplates and will allow Australian researchers to develop assay miniaturisation. The robotics will provide our nation’s researchers with a distinct competitive edge by enhancing assay sophistication, accuracy and reproducibility while reducing cost. The expected benefits will advance the elucidation of molecular mechanisms involved in complex biological phenomena. The benefits of this are substantial, including reduction in test compound and reagents, which in turn reduces laboratory costs, conserves cells and increases data quality.
