New Workstation Delivers Complete Solution for ELISAs and Cell-Based Assays Fullerton,CA (September 10, 2004) – Beckman Coulter introduces the Biomek® Assay Workstation, extending its successful automation product line to a wider range of systems biology applications. The new workstation can be configured with either the Biomek FX or NX liquid handlers, providing multiple pipetting and configuration options for different capacity, throughput and lab space requirements. The system integrates Beckman Coulter's new DTX Series multimode detector, which offers absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence detection for a complete solution to a range of applications. The Biomek Assay Workstation is ideal for drug discovery research, and has been optimized for cell-based screening and ELISAs. It has already been verified on two representative assays - the Immunotech™ IL-8 and the CellProbe™ HT Caspase 3/7. The system's SAMI® Workstation EX Software incorporates new dynamic scheduling capabilities that allow the user to create methods and run multiple assays for increased throughput and resource utilization. The new graphical interface, with language geared specifically to the scientist, makes assay design easier. This flexible software gives researchers complete control over all aspects of their custom-designed assays, including incubation, plate washing, liquid handling and detection options. "This new workstation is the latest example of our complete solutions approach to customer needs," commented Margie Rogers, Marketing Manager for Beckman Coulter. "With our integration of multiple instruments, software and verified assay methods we enable our customers to maximize throughput and use of resources."
