Thermo Electron has unveiled the HCS WorkCell, a new high-content screening (HCS) system that combines a small footprint with state-of-the art software.
The speed and dexterity of the HCS WorkCell, combined with the vertical integration, yield maximum throughput compared to traditional automation. Incorporating web service capabilities, the HCS WorkCell also permits easy configuration for sample tracking and data export to a laboratory information management system (LIMS).
The HCS WorkCell can be used with Thermo's Orchestrator software to provide a powerful workflow optimisation tool that can improve laboratory operations significantly. Orchestrator is a special software solution that has the added ability to connect the flow of information from automation scheduling software to a LIMS database. This enables researchers to gather, analyse and use essential data more effectively.
