Norwegian Sequencing Centre enhances multiomic workflows with automated liquid handling

NGS library preparation and PCR/qPCR workflow, active in various scenes!

◆ Equipped with different dispensing heads 　・384 channel dispensing head, Auto feed Loas function 　・Independent 3 or 6 channel non-contact dispensing head In NGS library preparation, sample transfer, mixing, and supernatant removal (bead purification) are handled by chip-type dispensing heads, while the addition of various reagents such as buffers and enzymes is managed by non-contact dispensing heads. This enables low dead volume, significant reduction in chip consumption, increased speed, and space-saving (reduction in the number of required chip racks). Additionally, the dragonfly head can dispense from 200nL, allowing for the execution of micro-volume protocols. It also supports screening in general drug discovery. With a compact design (W 660 x D 560 x H 800 mm), it contributes to solving space issues in laboratories. Screening, high throughput. Compatible with high viscosity and high density. For applications such as NGS library preparation, DNA/RNA extraction and purification, etc.

High versatility, high viscosity is also not a problem. Positive displacement non-contact dispenser.

The Dragonfly Discovery is a new non-contact dispenser that employs both positive displacement technology and disposable syringes. With its high versatility and user-friendly software, it can accommodate various assays and research with just one unit. ● Positive Displacement Technology This method uses a piston to push out the liquid. It allows for accurate dispensing of various solutions, such as those with viscosity and surface tension, without the need for class settings for each liquid. Examples: 80% glycerol, 50% EtOH, cell suspensions, etc. ● Supports Various Assays With intuitive dedicated software, you can easily design dispensing for biochemical assays, cell-based assays, bead-based assays, and more. It is also possible to control dispensing time, perform normalization, and dispense in a gradient-like manner. ● No Contamination Using disposable syringes eliminates the risk of carryover and cross-contamination. This dispensing machine has high versatility, suitable for DoE (Design of Experiment), ELISA, three-dimensional cell culture, protein crystallization assays, and more.

• Automatic Dispensing Device

For dispensing applications of several hundred nL!

The "mosquito HTS" is a robust nanoliter-scale dispensing device that employs a positive displacement method. It not only allows for precise aspiration and dispensing but also enables accurate mixing, making it suitable for various applications. By minimizing the sample volume in sample management workflows and genomics research, it contributes to cost reduction. ● Cost reduction through miniaturization and low dead volume With its accurate dispensing mechanism, it handles precious samples and expensive reagents in small volumes while minimizing dead volume, significantly reducing running costs. ● Reduced hands-on time and improved reproducibility through automation With rapid and precise operation, it eliminates dispensing errors and cross-contamination caused by human error, enhancing reproducibility. ● Improved data reliability through increased sample size The benefits of miniaturization extend beyond mere cost savings; it allows for multiple experiments to be conducted in parallel, thereby enhancing data reliability. ● User-friendly The easy-to-use software makes the protocol creation process very simple.

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.
