Hi Group, Can one place enough devices around a single cylindrical robot (ie Twister, Plate Crane etc.) to create a workcell that can complete a typical ELISA...
Hello, You usually can manage to cram in enough pieces of equipment to get round a small robot if you use a twister2 or platecrane which are quite high then...
Dear Joe, there are many ways to achieve a smart solution for your application. The most cost effective solution depends very much on the throughput ...

Hi Joe, Firstly you are right to choose a cylindrical format robot. Providing this has a low nose profile it can fit into instruments better and under the...
Dear Joe, Yes, it is possible to accomplish what you have outlined. RTS Life Science's HTS system, Assay Platform, provides a centralized, industrial robot...
Joe, yes this is possible. Our customers have automated entire ELISA, enzymatic, and even cell-based assays with a single PlateCrane. In the case of ELISA,...

Joe, My short answer is yes...Twister II, for example will allow you to place a liquid dispenser, a reader, and an incubator, all together with barcode ...
Hi Group: The assumption that cylindrical robots are better than linear track robots for this type of application is usually based on the higher cost of linear...

The class ll A/B BSC was from Jouan Robotics. Randy Engler <Randy.Engler@...> on 03/03/2003 01:36:45 PM Please respond to...
Hi Joe, CyBio offers a 10 position rotating deck system with a rotating arm and integration to many third party devices such as plate washers, incubators and...
The PlateCrane XT also can access 150 plates per 90 degrees, thank you for pointing this out David. It might be best to use caution when making claims about...

FYI The CyBio ScreenMachineT/ReplicatorT systems can be designed with up to 6 stackers in a chain with each stacker having 120 plate capacity (the last stacker...
Joe, Your question has raised the interest of many! One issue that I think should be considered when evaluating ELISA automation systems is your throughput...

This is a good discussion topic that cuts across many application lines... I have a couple of additional thoughts after reading many of the recent posts. I'll...
Joe, yes, this is a large question, as has been stated. The structure of such a system is very possible but the system design is totally dependant on your...

... I agree with that but the cylindrical format should be best because apart from the single axis vertical motion I mentioned earlier it can also reach over...
To compare apples to apples, you'll need to add in the robot footprint, as well. It looks like the 144 sq in that you quote is only the storage without the...
Hello group, Has anyone had experience with Blue Mountain's Calibration Manager software? Is this merely a database for record keeping and report generation,...

Hello, As far as the systems go you've identified the common liquid handlers which are suitable for the job - although there will be likely be others. To tell...
I am investigating the printing and applying of 2D barcodes onto 96, 384 and 1536 well microtiter plate formats. Can I please get feedback on what is a good...
