“The ability to reallocate resources from laborious tasks to more innovative work is critical for accelerating lifesaving research and bringing more therapeutics to market.”

Molecular Devices, LLC., a leading provider of high-performance life science solutions, today introduced five ready-made workcells for Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) workflows that offer automation capabilities ranging from entry level to advanced. Automating labor-intensive plate-based assays increases walkaway time, throughput, and reproducibility by reducing the amount of common, repetitive, hands-on steps for researchers.
“The pandemic has taught us that walkaway time and automation are critical to keeping labs on track so that scientists can focus on more critical assay development challenges,” said Celeste Glazer, Vice President, Global Marketing and Product Management, Molecular Devices. “The ability to reallocate resources from laborious tasks to more innovative work is critical for accelerating lifesaving research and bringing more therapeutics to market.
“Our new automated ELISA workcells offer five levels of automation, taking the hands-on work out of plate loading and advancing until manual intervention is almost entirely unnecessary. With this approach, we’re leveraging our extensive experience automating workflows to best support scientists wherever they are in their automation journey,” Glazer concluded.
Options include:
-
ELISA Workcell – Entry-level system for researchers new to laboratory automation enabling automated plate loading with microplate reader and washer, robotic plate handler, plate storage, and integration software. - ELISA Advanced Workcell – ELISA Workcell with more sophisticated robotic arm incorporated for an increasingly scalable, automated plate loading solution.
- ELISA Advanced EC Workcell – ELISA Advanced Workcell with an added automated incubator.
- ELISA HTS EC Workcell – Robotic liquid handling joins automated microplate reader, microplate washer, and incubator, for increased flexibility and minimal manual intervention.
- ELISA HTSx Workcell – ELISA Advanced EC Workcell with automated liquid handling controlled by intuitive scheduling software that enables a fully automated workflow after assay is initiated.
Molecular Devices will feature many components of the ELISA workcells at booth B15 during Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) Europe 2022 Conference and Exhibition in Dublin, Ireland, from May 24-27. The company will also showcase supporting workflow integrations including cell line development and imaging that complements ELISA screening.
