Discovery stimulated by automated compound library
Echnical poster describes a high throughput plate and tube sample processing system installed by Velocity11 at the Eskitis Institute for Cell and Molecular Therapies, Griffith University, Australia
Discovery of small molecule drug candidates typically involves assessment of in vitro Adme/Tox properties of hundreds to thousands of compounds.
Usually such applications require several individual automated liquid handling stations to perform the various testing protocols.
Using a Velocity11 BioCel automation system the authors describe an approach for assessing multiple compound properties rapidly and reliably.
The investigations focus upon a cytochrome P450 inhibition assay and compare data from manual and automated runs.
Using a range of eight compounds of varying potency, the robotic assay was able to produce data comparable with manual assays and with variability acceptable for screening purposes.
Considerable time saving through automation of the processes are demonstrated.
The BioCel automation system delivers the functionality of much larger systems in an efficient innovative package optimised for speed.
The BioCel is a fully capable sample-processing platform for assembling genomics reactions, dispensing samples for compound preparation, or processing biological samples in screening applications.
The system's event-driven scheduler supports multiple plate formats and labware, multiple protocols, and linear and parallel process flows, while the software architecture accommodates expansion of the system to include additional modules and access to new third party devices.
