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 morePrecision dispensing for every stage of discovery. One platform. Multiple workflows. Endless possibilities.
Read moreUltra-high-throughput screening (uHTS) demands homogeneous assay formats to leverage the density of 1536/3456 well plates to increase the throughput of large compound (> 1 million) library screens against disease targets. Such assay formats require automated reagent dispensing and rigorous assay development. The key liquid handlers in any uHTS system are non-contact reagent dispensers rather than tip-based multichannel pipetting devices that are common in many lower throughput assay systems. Critical requirements for any uHTS reagent dispenser are accuracy, precision, and speed. Additionally, it is important to integrate the uHTS dispenser into assay development as early as possible. For most bulk dispensers, this integration typically occurs late in the process. The dragonfly discovery from SPT Labtech is a non-contact positive displacement dispenser designed to bridge dispensing needs from assay development through high-throughput screening. It provides ready access to 10 different reagents that can be dispensed in variable volumes as well as at high speeds. We evaluate the performance of this dispenser in high-throughput mode and examine its use in assay development for reagent concentration optimization in 1536-well plates and buffer component optimization by DOE.
Read moreAutomation to carry out complex DoE experiments has always been a limiting factor, both in terms of speed and cost. The dragonfly discovery from SPT Labtech, is a rapid and reliable low volume liquid handler that employs true positive displacement technology to enable the dispensing of all aqueous solutions and solvents, from 200nL through to 4mL. The dragonfly discovery's plate-map file format made it simple to convert and import JMP DoE files and subsequently execute these experimental designs in all microplate types, including 1,536 well plates.
Read moreThe complexity of experimental design in early stage drug discovery is rapidly increasing with reagent requirements for a growing number of assays becoming progressively more complex and difficult to dispense. In order to address these challenges, we have utilized the dragonfly discovery to enable a broad range of applications within functional genomics, phenotypic and biochemical assay workflows.

Read moreJoin us as we dive into recent research which has combined Design of Experiments methodology with automated liquid handling to develop a cardiotoxicity assay platform. We discuss how this approach could become routine in the future, not only offering more accurate predictability of new drug candidates, but also enabling researchers to leverage resources more efficiently through streamlined workflows and data-driven decision-making.
Read moreEstablishing an efficient and accurate compound testing workflow is essential to any small molecule screening platform. When utilizing screening methods such as DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology, follow-up hit validation must be performed using traditional biochemical assays. In this webinar, we will review the use of mosquito LV to accelerate early-stage small molecule lead discovery through the lens of Hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (HAO1). In this case study, we will describe our efforts to develop and deploy a robust enzymatic assay towards the development of potent inhibitors identified by DEL technology for disease treatment.

Read moreAfter a successful DNA-encoded library (DEL) screen, it is essential to have access to a high-throughput method of assaying compounds to validate hits. The ability to create up to sixteen serial dilutions in parallel and subsequently plate those dilutions on a nanoscale can vastly speed up the hit finding process, while improving the accuracy and efficiency of the screen. mosquito® LV by SPT Labtech has greatly improved the way we work with our off-DNA compounds synthesized from DELcore and DELflex collaborations.
Read moreWith more than 70 FDA-approved small molecules ,kinase inhibition continues to attract significant investment. Identification and characterization of novel inhibitors is a challenging, yet critical task which sets the tone for future successes and failures. Traditional single shot approaches do not meet current requirements for machine learning and carry significant risks of false negatives. Hit profiling has evolved this concept, generating potency estimates, reducing risks while providing contextual confidence. Accurate hit identification followed by high resolution, kinetic molecular profiling enhances outcomes ensuring better data-driven decision-making earlier in the process, saving time and resources, leading to superior molecular design.
