With a stand focusing on the latest products for life science research, Packard BioScience has announced its presence at the EuroLabAutomation conference in London, UK (23-25 October)
At the EuroLabAutomation meeting, Packard BioScience is displaying for the first time in the United Kingdom the Fusion universal microplate analyser, now with fluorescence polarisation capability.
Fluorescence polarisation is emerging as an important homogeneous assay development and high throughput screening technology that increases throughput, reduces cost and eases sample preparation for drug discovery applications.
In addition to fluorescence polarisation measurement, the Fusion is capable of reading absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, time-resolved fluorescence intensity and Packards unique AlphaScreen assay technologies.
Also on show will be the recently launched SpotArray 24-pin tool microarray printing system.
The introduction of this system expands Packard's family of high performance microarray production and analysis technologies and enables the rapid production of high quality, compact arrays.
The SpotArray 24 system has a unique printhead, which creates highly compact arrays and is ideally suited for standard microarray production onto glass slides.
It is both affordable and compact for academic and research settings where funding is limited and space is restricted.
Other products to be featured on the Packard stand include the compact MiniTrak ultra-high throughput microplate processing system and a MultiProbe II HT robotic liquid handling system configured with the new highly versatile Talon integration platform.
The first two applications to benefit from the powerful coupling of the MultiProbe II HT and the Talon integration platform are solid phase extraction and nucleic acid purification using vacuum filtration.
