Handling cells in automated systems requires smooth and reliable operation and specialised equipment. Thus, Velocity11 has announced a new configuration of its BioCel sampleprocessing platform, which has been designed to automate cell-based ELISA procedures.
medium removal and absorbance detection is also part of the process. Owing to its powerful dynamic scheduling software, flexible liquid handling options and its ability to integrate third-party instruments, the BioCel system is ideally suited to this complex assay format. Integrating a VPrep pipetting station, a plate washer, CO2 incubator and microplate absorbance reader, the system can use VWorks software and scheduler to provide unattended automation of approximately 500 plates per run in a three-day experiment.
BioCel is one of the most compact and rapid automated sample processing systems on the market. It is capable of automating a wide range of applications, from compound plate replication and HTS assays in drug research to nucleic acid sample preparation in genomics laboratories.
