Matrical has announced the availability of Automap, an automated assay platform for high throughput microplate, tube and vial processing in a self-contained environment.
Automap is an integrated robotic platform used for sample processing that offers a solution for a variety of drug discovery applications.
The platform can be operated as a standalone system or integrated with additional platforms, including the Ministore, an automated sample management system and Maccs, an automated cell culture system.
Temperature, humidity, CO2, nitrogen, plus other gases or gas mixtures can be regulated internally ensuring optimised experimental conditions.
Automap features a Biological Safety Level 1 (BSL1) classification as specified by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), minimising potential hazard to laboratory personnel.
Automap can perform a number of applications, which include sample processing for chemical and biological sample management, PCR purification, PCR preparation, cycle sequencing preparation, UHT screening, sample normalisation, chemical assays, plate replication, hit picking, cell based assays, storage and replication of HTS, protein purification and genetic analysis.
