In this webinar, Katherine Dyer of Transcripta Bio and Dr. Kyle Kisor of SPT Labtech will demonstrate how they developed and automated an AlphaLISA workflow on the firefly® liquid handler, from initial miniaturization to full-plate implementation.
Read moreMarker-assisted breeding programs in agriculture rely on high-throughput genotyping, which in turn depends on consistent, high-quality genomic DNA and reproducible, error-free PCR set-up. In this application note, ACSEN Agriscience and SPT Labtech describe a semi-automated workflow that pairs the apricot® S1 liquid handling system for genomic DNA extraction from plant leaf tissue with the apricot® S3 liquid handling system for downstream PCR sample preparation and post-PCR processing ahead of SSR and SNP genotyping on a ZAG Fragment Analyzer. The workflow reduces manual pipetting, standardizes reagent dispensing across plates, and supports the throughput required for routine molecular marker analysis.
Read moreRNA sequencing enables genome-wide measurement of transcript abundance and is widely used to study gene expression, transcript structure and biological responses across sample groups. However, RNA library preparation remains relatively expensive and labour-intensive, particularly when ribosomal RNA depletion is required for degraded or lower-quality samples. Miniaturising RNA library preparation has the potential to reduce reagent costs, while automation can improve throughput and reduce batch-to-batch variability. These advantages become especially important when processing large sample numbers, where manual handling is time-consuming and difficult to scale.
