The first inaugural SLAS took place on
February 6-8
th in San Diego, California with BMG LABTECH being a
proud diamond sponsor of the event. Amongst the things highlighted at SLAS2012
were the PHERAstar FS, the new gold-standard for HTS instruments; the
SPECTROstar Nano, a 1536-well absorbance only microplate reader that is perfect
for HTS DNA concentration measurements; and the new Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU)
with dual gas intake valves for CO
2 and O
2 regulation,
making it the ultimate cell-based microplate reader.
To highlight the flexibility of the PHERAstar FS in primary and secondary HTS
screens, BMG LABTECH hosted two tutorials at SLAS, as well as several posters. The
first tutorial showcased the ability to go to nanoliter volumes in different HTS
assays. This tutorial, in conjunction with Labcyte, Inc., detailed a new
nanoHTS platform in 3456-well microplates that consisted of the Echo
®
555 acoustic liquid dispenser, the Access
TM automation
platform, and the PHERAstar FS microplate reader. The second tutorial further demonstrated
the flexibility of the PHERAstar FS in a primary and a secondary HTS screen.
For the primary screen, an HTRF
® IP-One assay, the PHERAstar FS
clearly outperforms a leading HTS CCD-based microplate reader in terms of both speed
and assay quality. For the secondary screen, a GFP/mCherry transcription assay,
the PHERAstar FS again outperforms a leading HCS flow cytometer in both speed
and data quality.
