Robotics

 

A range of robots at Source BioScience LifeSciences can be programmed to facilitate repetitive tasks.

 

Application

 

Our robots offer solutions to clone-handling and liquid-handling problems such as:

  • picking clones from an agar plate to array them in microtitre wells,
  • cherry-picking a subset of arrayed clones;
  • making a copy of an arrayed set of clones;
  • condensing and decondensing between 96-well and 384-well arrays;
  • performing PCR on an arrayed source of DNAs;
  • making dilutions of arrayed DNA samples.

 

Platforms

 

  • BioRobotics BioPick robot picks colonies to make arrays.
  • MATRIX PlateMatePlus automated pipetting workstations with 96-well and 384-well capacity. Source BioScience LifeSciences has two robots permitting us to perform most liquid handling tasks rapidly.
  • KBiosystems Super Duncan thermal cyclers. This machine permits high throughput PCR with a maximum of over 300 plates per working day (~120,000 reactions a day).

 

Why use Source BioScience LifeSciences?

 

Our robots are all on service contracts to assure maintenance to the highest standards. Fully trained staff perform tasks with the robots on a continual basis, thus helping to ensure peak performance.
