Bench-top reader automates enzymatic
assay work
Caliper Life Sciences has launched the Caliper LabChip EZ Reader series, delivering a complete range of products for in-house kinase profiling
The LabChip EZ Reader series, which complements the existing LabChip 3000 system, Caliper's most sophisticated system for drug discovery, includes the new EZ Reader II system, a bench-top reader to use for real-time kinetic analysis with push-button operation, and the EZ Reader system, formerly the DeskTop Profiler system Each product in the EZ Reader Series utilises Caliper's LabChip microfluidic-based screening technology to yield high-quality, reproducible data to help pharmaceutical researchers more confidently qualify potential lead candidates

The EZ Reader Series features innovative systems that rapidly profile compounds against a diverse kinase panel in a timely and cost-effective manner.
The Series complements Caliper's existing offerings for kinase profiling.
The EZ Reader system features a four-sipper Caliper LabChip microfluidic device, while the EZ Reader II system provides a choice of either a four-sipper or a 12-sipper LabChip device to run assays with up to three times higher throughput.
The EZ Reader II system also enables real time kinetic analysis, allowing researchers to study enzyme behaviour over time in mechanism-of-action (MOA) studies.
Its compact, bench-top size and push-button operation delivers a high level of functionality without a large footprint or the need for highly skilled operators.
Caliper's ProfilerPro kinase reagent profiling kit, which allows broad range, rapid kinase profiling in-house, accompanies each system.
"The EZ Reader II system extends the benefits of Caliper's LabChip technology to academic laboratories, small biotech companies and distributed therapeutic groups," said Rick Bunch, business unit manager, LabChip Systems, Caliper Life Sciences. Request a free brochure from Caliper Life Sciences ...
