Protedyne Corporation has announced that they have integrated their Radius™ bench top robotic system with Roche Diagnostics' LightCycler 480 Real-Time PCR System to create an automated high-throughput solution for real-time PCR assays.
Protedyne's Radius’ unique radial design and vertical construction provide maximum functionality that can access areas of the bench top beyond its own footprint for simple and cost-effective device integration.
The Radius system uses Protedyne's software that adapts to multiple protocols - and SmartTools™, interchangeable tools with built-in microprocessors that store tool calibration information and track performance data.
"Protedyne's Radius was a logical choice for the LightCycler 480 system as our technology provides the efficiency and throughput needed for highly-reproducible preparation across a broad range of scientific applications in genomics research," said Fran Tuttle, President and CEO of Protedyne.
"By combining the two systems, we can deliver to our customers exactly the throughput they are trying to achieve."
The integrated platform will be on display at the American Association for Clinical Chemistry's annual show in Chicago, July 25-27, 2006 (Booth #205.)
