Exetek has launched Cymek, an automated system for molecular biology and protein expression for laboratories from academic institutions to large biotechnology and pharmaceutical organisations.
Historically, laboratory automation has been characterised by a multiplicity of issues, being over-complex, difficult to use and inflexible.
Cymek is said to overcome these problems in providing a ready-to-run, easy-to-use and flexible automation solution for undertaking large numbers of molecular biology and protein expression experiments.
Using Windows-based interfaces, the Cymek system software allows users to quickly specify the multiple combinations required for large-scale molecular biology while retaining the facility to vary process parameters.
Automatic calculation of reagent and labware requirements together with graphical loading screens enable multiple laboratory staff to quickly become proficient users with minimum training.
Cymek systems are supplied in one of six variants, with proven protocols that scale automatically to meet the needs of a variety of laboratories.
