RTS Life Science will exhibit, host a half day workshop, and present two posters at the Society for Biomolecular Screening 14th annual conference and exhibition, St Louis, USA, 6-10 April 2008
The workshop entitled 'RTS Libradexx, a new, flexible approach to compound library management using acoustic dispensing technology,' will be co-hosted by Labcyte and will feature a system supplied to GlaxoSmithKline.
There have long been discussions regarding the benefits of large integrated systems against a workstation approach; RTS's Libradexx integrates software and hardware in the Labcyte Echo in such a way as to combine the benefits of the two.
During the session it will discuss how this innovative, semi-automated sample storage was developed and is being used by GlaxoSmithKline.
The workshop will take place on Sunday 6 April, 1.30-4.30pm in room 241.
In addition to the workshop, RTS Life Science will unveil two posters at SBS 2008.
'A new paradigm in sample library management and replication,' will be presented by Julio Maher, Chris Walsh, Philip Cummings, David Harding, and Claire Ridgway of RTS.
This detailed poster discusses how RTS has partnered with a major pharmaceutical company to challenge the current accepted models for compound management, in particular, the increasing use of the Labcyte Echo 550/555 liquid handler by sample management and HTS professionals.
The other poster, entitled 'Storage solutions: new technologies, new applications,' by Simon Sheard, David Harding and Chris Walsh, outlines the current state of compound storage in the pharmaceutical industry.
In particular, this poster presents an insight into the future demands of sample management for drug discovery applications.
