“I'm looking to use MSCOMM to control the Twister. I presume it has a relatively simple set of raw movement commands if sent directly,rather than using an interface layer of some sort. ”
“Where I work we do a bunch of assays based on small volume dilutions, 2 - 10 µl. I've developed a simple tartrazine test to test dilutions, make up a standard curve, straight line shows you can use a pipette. I bought some tartrazine and "Bob's yer uncle" lets go. Seems it's not so easy as that. It's been suggested we buy in a standard to reduce variation. I have no trouble with that but am not sure where to buy. Most Tartrazine solutions are made for slide work, it seems. Anyone care to recommend a supplier or an alternative solution? ”
“Can anyone suggest a sealing option for a low throughput screening lab where there will be ~2000-5000
compounds acquired/year? The plates will be stored at low temperature (minus 80) in 100% DMSO in 96 well plates. They possess a liquid handler but feel the cost of a heat sealer is not justified. However, they want the compounds to be stable during storage so that they can be cherry picked and re-tested in the future.”
