Cisbio Bioassays has announced that it has added Cybio's robotic workstation to its laboratory to enhance assay development services.
The combination of Cisbio's expertise with Cybio's flexible workstation will enable Cisbio to reinforce its service offering, which includes custom assay development for the creation and optimisation of HTRF assays.
HTRF is Cisbio's highly sensitive technology for the detection of molecular interactions that is used by the pharmaceutical industry for the high-throughput screening stage of drug development.
The Cybio workstation, a customised, modular, multi-functional automation platform for high-throughput applications, allows for efficient testing under different assay conditions and applied research using high-density plate formats including 384-w low volume and 1536-w.
Each Cybio workstation is individually designed using Cybio equipment and integrated parts.
Starting with a base module, the workstation is customised to meet specific process, throughput and capacity requirements.
Its integrated components, such as pipettors, incubators, readers, dispensers and other automation modules, work together to automate an assay from set-up to data collection.
