New Tools That Enable Confidence in Data
Beckman Coulter presents what’s new in its automation tool box that enables end users to have more confidence in their data. This includes
Biomek ® hardware and software updates as well as new automated applications.
The new member of the applications team, from Agencourt Biosciences (Beverly, Mass.), shares new applications for genetic analysis.
The applications teams from Fullerton (Calif.) and Indianapolis (Ind.) shares new verified and validated automated applications that provides
robust solutions.
Rounding out the agenda are presentations from Beckman Coulter’s chemistry partners – Promega, Millipore and Sigma-Aldrich – addressing
new assay kits automated on Biomek liquid handlers.

Label-Free High-Throughput Screening in 384-Well Format
This workshop provides an overview of the performance of an innovative and high throughput label-free detection technology that addresses
difficult to detect drug-target interactions, as well as improve biochemical pathway exploration. The Epic System, comprised of a 384-well
microplate with optical biosensors and attachment surface chemistry inside each well and an optical reader detection instrument, facilitates
the detection of biomolecular interactions without the use of fluorescent or radioactive labels. A beta version of the 384-well Epic System
has been used to probe many of the biomolecular interactions involved in cellular and molecular biology. This talk highlights data from various
biochemical and cell-based assays, including drug-protein, protein-protein, protein-DNA, and cellular mass redistribution.
