Automated IC-50 candidate selection
The MultiProbe II HT robotic liquid handling system provides a valuable tool for drug discovery laboratories undertaking high volume IC-50 candidate selection testing
Featuring eight pipetting tips the MultiProbe II HT provides for greatly increased speed, throughput and flexibility in making precise liquid transfers Configured in 4 + 4 mode the MultiProbe II HT can automatically dilute samples across a plate using disposable tips for critical liquid handling points and fixed tips for the addition of common reagents such as buffers

White microplate is 20% brighter
Packard BioScience has announced the availability of a new white microplate - OptiPlate384 - claiming a 20% increase in light output and better signal-to-noise ratios
Unlike competitive systems performing IC-50 candidate selection the MultiProbe II HT system has no need to change tips during operation thus greatly increasing sample throughput.
The MultiProbe II HT system uniquely balances the need to optimise speed of processing samples with maintaining flexibility of operation.
Accomodating tip spans from 9mm to 40mm pitch, the MultiProbe II HT series can pipette from tubes, microplates and vials in any combination.
Flexibility in application programming is performed using powerful, yet easy-to-use 32-bit WinPrep control software.
The simplicity of 'drag and drop' labware definition and easy-to-use pipetting definition menus means lower training requirements and availability of the system to multiple users in the laboratory.
