CyBio and Axxam Develop a New System for High Throughput Screening

20-Mar-2009 - Germany

CyBio AG and Axxam SpA announce that they have developed, installed and validated a new screening station to be used by Axxam in running hit discovery campaigns with automated luminescence and fluorescence screening systems.

The new workstation, which will run in parallel to another CyBio workstation, is a customized, multi-functional automation platform that allows flexible adaptation to different assay conditions using high-density 384 plates.

A central CyBi®-Well vario high parallel pipetting system unites two major working areas. Cooled storage system, peeler, sealer and plate heating stations frame the area for compound management. The screening area not only consists of a pipetting system, a dispenser, a washer, high-capacity stacking and incubation devices with lid handling options, but also of two readers, a FLIPRTETRA (Molecular Device) and a PHERAstarPlus (BMG Labtech). They can be used to acquire fluorescent or luminescent readouts, both in cell-based or biochemical assays.
