Introduction to the Corning 1536-Well Echo Qualified Plate – A New Compound
Source Plate for Use on the Labcyte Echo 550
This joint workshop from Corning, Labcyte, and BMS demonstrates the technical advantages of the Corning 1536-well Echo Qualified plate
on the Labcyte Echo 550 liquid handler. The Echo 550 uses acoustic energy to precisely transfer nanoliter volumes of compounds from
source plates to assay plates. An end-user will show applications and validations of the 1536-well plate. Topics covered include compound
storage capabilities, extractables, transfer precision, sealing methods and assay performance.

UHTS GPCR Screening Using CyBi-Lumax Flash in 1536 and 384
The urgency of finding more cost effective, functional screening solutions for GPCRs and Ion Channels has prompted a growing interest
in novel cell based techniques. Luminescent approaches using photo proteins, which respond to the receptor’s activation, are growing in
popularity. CyBio has responded to this demand by developing an ad-hoc reader for these applications and forging relationships with the
leading providers of this technology. This workshop presents the CyBi-Lumax family of flash imagers from CyBio, and their performance in
the context of HTS. The technical overview includes the instruments’ sensitivity, innovative micro fluidics, and exceptional speed. Multiple
available biologies are compared and recent developments from users will be shared.

MDL Plate Manager — A Compound Management System for Quality Libraries
Managing compound libraries can be a daunting task when Excel spreadsheets are used to track volumes and locations; spreadsheets
get lost and are often not updated in a timely manner. Ensure the quality of your libraries being screened and compounds are delivered to
biologists on time with an integrated system using off the shelf software and commercially available hardware. See how MDL Plate Manager
from Elsevier MDL has been integrated with two commercially available sample management systems to provide a streamlined compound
management system to track and manage plates and samples, ensuring quality libraries delivered on time.
