Automation of Immunotech’s IL-8 ELISA Using Beckman Coulter’s Biomek 3000 Laboratory
Automation Workstation
Beckman Coulter, has developed and optimized an automated method using the new Biomek 3000 Laboratory
Automated Workstation to provide a complete, walk away system for ELISA assays. The system uses the unified
Biomek software to optimize liquid transfers while making sample processing as efficient as possible. The method
allows processing of a single plate while minimizing reagent waste. Integrated plate washing is achieved using
the Wash–8 Tool that provides consistent reagent addition and removal. The combination of the Biomek 3000
Laboratory Automated Workstation and integrated plate washing offers a complete system for processing ELISA
assays without user intervention. The information provided here will:
• describe the automated system used to process the ELISA;
• demonstrate the utility of the Biomek 3000;
• describe the results when processing Immunotech’s IL-8ELISA kit on this system.

STEM ReactArray Improved Productivity Using Manual and Automated Parallel Reactors
Equipped With Liquid Handling and On-line HPLC Analysis
ReactArray was developed by an on-going collaboration between the leading drug companies and the instrument
industry and is ideal for large range of uses, like process chemistry, drug degradation studies, formulation
applications and crystallization studies. ReactArray automates reaction preparation, sampling, quenching, dilution,
and HPLC analysis and provides the advantage of monitoring reactions under precisely controlled conditions.
