Combines microscale fluid paths, reaction chambers, and passive valves on a disposable compact disc operating on one easy-to-use automated platform
Based on Tecan's revolutionary centrifugally driven microfluidics platform, the LabCD combines microscale fluid paths, reaction chambers, and passive valves on a disposable compact disc operating on one easy-to-use automated platform. This walk-away, fully integrated system performs a wide range of Admet (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) assays.
These include cytochrome P450 inhibition assays for measuring drug-drug interactions and serum protein-binding assays for measuring the binding characteristics of drug compounds at different serum protein-binding sites.
Validated assays and data reduction software provide direct access to information that allows the user to quickly select suitable drug candidates.
The LabCD-Admet has been designed to allow users to quickly set up the system, commence applications, and proceed with other tasks as the system takes care of the different steps in various drug discovery assays.
Unlike other options that use microplates, the LabCD is part of a fully integrated system that performs all fluid-related functions.
The system guarantees reliable and consistent results from one location to another and from one assay to the next.
Through advanced miniaturisation, the LabCD allows users to significantly reduce reagent consumption.
