Orchestrated screening arrives

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.

A turn-key system, the HCS WorkCell optimises vertical integration to deliver a compact but powerful automated solution that is easy to relocate and maximises valuable laboratory floor space. As a complete, dedicated solution, the HCS WorkCell surpasses the needs of cell-based analysis for applications such as stem cell research, cell health and sRNAi technology. The instrumentation and software enable complete sample preparation and scheduled analysis with maximum flexibility.

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.
