BioTek's READ, WASH, DISPENSE & AUTOMATE theme exemplifies the full line of microplate technology solutions that will be demonstrated at booth 151, as well as a variety of informative presentations throughout the conference. The new EL406™ 1536-well washer, the latest advancement in microplate washing, will also feature.

As BioTek’s next generation washer platform, the EL406 features two dispense manifolds, driven by separate microprocessor controlled syringe pumps, used individually or in parallel for maximum 1536-well throughput. Angled tube designs guarantee thorough yet gentle washing, even for loosely adherent cell monolayers. An available peristaltic pump dispenser module can be added as an alternative washing tool or dedicated reagent dispenser. The EL406 will be featured at the fourth annual “Late Night with LRIG: Rapid-Fire Innovation Session”, to be held January 25, 2010 at the Wyndham Hotel Palm Springs, Mojave Learning Center.

Also at the booth will be BioTek’s new patent-pending Synergy™ H4 Hybrid Microplate Reader, which combines sensitive filter- and flexible monochromator-based optics in one high-performance unit. This unique hybrid of both technologies provides for endless flexibility in current and future microplate-based assay choice and also covers the entire range of microplate-based fluorescence, absorbance and luminescence assays.

BioTek’s workshops at LabAutomation 2010 include:
• Automated Workflows for Luminex xMAP Assays – Use of BioTek microplate washers including the EL406, ELx405 and ELx50 for automation of Luminex xMAP assays using either polystyrene or magnetic beads. This workshop will be held Tuesday, January 26 from 12:30 - 2:00 pm in the Palm Springs Convention Center, Smoketree AB.

• Cell Culture Simplified: The BioLevitator and 3D CellHOST (sponsored by Hamilton and Global Cell Solutions) – This workshop will focus on Hamilton’s BioLevitator product for 3D cell culture and Global Cell Solutions 3D matrix called GEM. BioTek will demonstrate the ability to perform automated assays with cells on GEM using BioTek’s MicroFlo Select dispenser, Precision pipetting system and Synergy 4 hybrid microplate reader. This workshop will be held Monday, January 25 from 12:30 – 2:00 pm in the Palm Springs Convention Center, Smoketree DE.
