Stability of Compounds Stored in TekCel Plate Management System.<br />

Application of New Approaches <strong>for</strong> Ultra-High-Throughput Analysis of Compound Stability<br />

Presenter: James Connelly, Ph.D.<br />

Collections of compounds used <strong>for</strong> pharmaceutical lead generation are both a major asset <strong>and</strong> an opportunity<br />

<strong>for</strong> drug discovery. There<strong>for</strong>e, protection <strong>and</strong> preservation of this high-value resource is of supreme importance.<br />

Stability of compounds stored in DMSO solutions can be increased by application of conditions such as inert<br />

atmosphere <strong>and</strong> low temperature. The TekCel Plate Management System has been used <strong>for</strong> over 1.5 years to store<br />

combinatorial libraries at the Aventis Combinatorial Technologies Center. Increased surveillance <strong>and</strong> continuous<br />

QC of stored collections can be facilitated by new technology <strong>for</strong> ultra-high-throughput chromatography <strong>and</strong><br />

mass spectrometric analysis. Preliminary results on the application of new analytical technologies <strong>and</strong> the relative<br />

stability of these drug discovery samples will be presented.<br />

Thermo Electron’s KingFisher ® – A Novel High Throughput Plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> Protein<br />

Purification Applications<br />

Thermo will be presenting a flexible customer solution <strong>for</strong> recombinant protein purification based on magnetic<br />

particles. This solution combines Thermo’s unique KingFisher purification technology <strong>and</strong> Dynal Biotech’s<br />

Dynabeads ® TALON ® , offering rapid protein purification with high-quality results. Purified proteins are ready <strong>for</strong><br />

use in a variety of downstream applications such as screening <strong>for</strong> new drugs <strong>and</strong> drug targets <strong>and</strong> studying DNAprotein<br />

or protein-protein interactions.<br />

Fully functional high-purity proteins can be isolated with excellent reproducibility <strong>and</strong> increased sensitivity.<br />

This robust <strong>and</strong> reliable method can purify up to 96 samples in less than 30 minutes. Data showing excellent<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance of the new solution will be presented.<br />
