Products released at LabAutomation 2007

Nautilus LIMS ensures that research organi­zations can keep pace with changes in ana­lytical techniques and manage increased data volumes. Version 8.0, available for demo at LabAutomation, provides more user interaction in plate-handling, enhanced report­ing, and better data segregation—all in a new, user-friendly GUI. The result is greater speed and efficiency in data archiving, management and plate planning.

Laser-etched 2D Data Matrix code for permanent sample identification is encripted into the bottom of each tube. The screw caps have a silicon "O" ring which makes them ideal for long-term storage at ultralow tempera­tures. Six different color caps are available for easy identification. Gross volume, 0.49 mL; working volume with screw cap is 0.19 mL; V-shape bot­tom for maximum sample recovery.

Epic System, Corning Inc.

The Corning Epic System is a new high-throughput label-free screening platform that uses simpler assays to screen novel targets and detect biomo­lecular interactions that are otherwise unable to be observed. Consisting of an SBS-standard 384-well microplate with optical biosensors inside each well and an HTS-compatible micro­plate reader, the Epic System is appli­cable to both biochemical and cell-based assays.

The STAR-line is Hamilton Company's new generation of liquid-handling robotic workstations. The STAR's con­trol process monitors liquids during both the aspiration and dispensing steps. All systems are installed using a gravimetric test that satisfies IQ/OQ requirements. These tests can also be run to insure accuracy following maintenance on the pipetting chan­nels.
