We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Discovery Process",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Experts converge at biocalorimetry conference from
MicroCal, which we summarised at the time by saying "Experts in the fields of drug discovery and development and biotherapeutics will converge at the Applications of BioCalorimetry (ABC6) conference in Heidelberg, 7-10 July 2008".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Microfluidic reactor chips power flow chemistry from
Dolomite: "Dolomite says that its microfluidic technology has enabled automated laboratory equipment company Syrris to develop a new and powerful powerful range of flow reactors".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Radleys
concerning its Lara
- take a look at Improved control of Grignard alkylation reactions
which says: "Using a Radleys Lara controlled laboratory reactor (CLR), improved control of a Grignard alkylation has been achieved such that the reaction can now be repeated with a higher degree of reproducibility".
Take a look also at the news release from Velocity11, Cell viability analysis made more reliable,
as well as Novel proteomics systems launched at Hupo 2007 from Bruker Daltonics,
and European unveiling of AquaMax microplate washers from Molecular Devices.
