TTP Labtech Ltd, a global leader in the design and development of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, has announced the commercial premiere of its dragonfly® discovery liquid handling technology at SLAS 2017, in Washington, DC, USA.
Building on the success of the first dragonfly liquid handling platform, dragonfly crystal, which was designed for crystallographers, TTP Labtech has developed a second generation of the dragonfly technology. The new dragonfly discovery is poised to address the complexities of assay development, and challenges associated with validating and subsequent transferring of those assays into high throughput screening (HTS), which are well known bottle necks in the drug discovery process. This novel, user-friendly, low-volume liquid handling technology significantly reduces assay development time and greatly improves assay robustness in screening. The dragonfly discovery provides scientists with a standard platform whereby they can easily develop complex assays and screen those assays in a robust ...
