Above QIAGEN FlexiPlate siRNA reagent libraries are now available in Labcyte Echo qualified microplates.
abcyte, the developer of acoustic liquid handling, and QIAGEN, a leading
global provider of sample and assay technologies, have announced that QIAGEN FlexiPlate siRNA reagent libraries are now available in Labcyte Echo qualified microplates. Tese microplates enable researchers
to use the Echo liquid handler to miniaturise the transfer of small interfering RNA (siRNA) reagents.
Te Echo liquid handler uses acoustic energy to move fluids without physical contact or the possibility of cross-contamination. Tere are no pipette tips, pin tools or nozzles involved, which provides unsurpassed precision and accuracy while reducing volume.
Te advantages afforded by the Echo liquid handler include applications in drug discovery, cell-based analyses, sample management, and assay miniaturisation.
“Our Echo platforms have revolutionised liquid handling,”
said Mark Fischer-Colbrie, ceo and president of Labcyte. “Researchers can now transfer significantly smaller volumes while maintaining excellence in precision and accuracy. Te reduction in assay volumes and elimination of disposable tips dramatically reduces cost. Data show that siRNA screening at reduced volume is superior or equal to results obtained with traditional liquid handlers.”
“As the first provider to offer flexible and targeted siRNA sets worldwide, QIAGEN is pleased that we have the opportunity to combine our FlexiPlate siRNA concept with Labcyte Echo qualified plates, which minimises volumes and reduces the risk of contamination
