I am exploring the options for ELISA automation. Key features for a
system would be:
1. Flexibility: Ease of modifying or writing new assays, accomodation of
various labware (eg. tubes, plates)
2. Multiple plate capability: probably 5-10 plates/day for now, but the
ability to expand to higher plate capacity in the future
3. Cradle-to-grave assay performance: will perform complete assay
(including plate reading) unattended (or with minimal attention)
4. Reliability!
I would appreciate any feedback from folks who have experience with some
of the systems that are currently available. I am especially interested
in hearing from anyone that has tested the new "gripper tool" for the
Biomek 2000.
Thanks for your help. You may respond here or email me directly.
